Walking up the hill in Butte aux Cailles, I poked the camera through the gate. What a find!

Paris je t'aime
I fell in love with Paris in March 2007. It was as the French say, le coup de foudre : love at first sight. As a result of that trip, my photography took another direction. Since that time I have pursued a career of sorts in photography and dreamed of returning to the City of Light. November 2008 found me strolling the streets of Paris once again. My first visit I was so overwhelmed with the incredible beauty of the city, I photographed it as a "tourist". In 2008 I returned and I looked at the city with more of a photographer's eye. I wanted to capture the unique, the small details, and oh yes - the people! This blog was started as a photo diary of that trip, but I have been most fortunate to return to the city j'adore 15 times since. Each time I leave, I wipe a tear and start planning my list for the next trip. Paris may well be a moveable feast, but I think it's best savored in person! Someone told me that once you have been to Paris, you will leave a piece of your heart. I left mine right there, but I brought home some wonderful memories. It is my pleasure to share them with you.

Un petit coin de paradis... belle photo. Vous avez eu raison d'aller fouiner plus loin pour notre plus grand plaisir...
Gros bisous à vous.
What a beautiful find! I love the delicate colours of the flowers.
I agree V. "What a find". It looks like a painting. It would look fantastic printed and framed.
That's the PAris I love, the real one, hidden but beautiful!
Absolutely LOVe this image. Are you going to be in France in July or August this year?
Bisous
A perfect example of the elements producing a patina that all artist strive to put on canvas....Made my jaw drop!
This is why I love Paris!
Enchanting! Now, if only there was a bench where you could sit and savor! Do stop by The Marmelade Gypsy if you have a chance!
V,
This photo is absolutely gorgeous! What a find! This would make a beautiful postcard! :)
A romantic enchanting place indeed and "bravo"for this wonderful capture.A beautiful postcard!

One of the most intriguing, and charming, things about Paris. Too bad more of them aren't easily accessible.
Beautiful little spot! Kind of a small secret garden. Those secret/surprise finds are the best! :D Love this photo. And i love the music i hear... :)
great and beautiful surprise! is a charming little place!
Wow, this could be a painting!
I love how you caught this, mid way between a photograph and a painting.
What a find indeed. Truly beautiful photo!
I love the soft, subtle colors. This almost looks like a painting—nice find, V!
What a find is right! It is just beautiful.. so very comforting. Love the colors.
What a wonderful find!
So lovely this little place .....
Happy day!!
Oh Dear God - how sublime. And Julia's theme gently whispering through my speakers - sensational - thank you. Made my day as I shiver my way through the latest flu bug doing the rounds. Life is actually ok - now! F x
What a find! Love these little courtyards - so picturesque!

This is how I imagine Paris. Lot's of delightful hidden treasures down alleys and around corners!
I am just now catching up after a very busy week. This photo is just wonderful! The softness of the color is fabulous.
