I'm currently reading "metronome" by Lorent Deutsch, and this museum comes back often as the place where to find many memories of the history of PAris.
For a moment there I thought you had taken a photo inside my home - NOT! Very lovely. I do appreciate when you show us interesting scenes from inside the fabulous buildings of Paris. I'm always so focused on the out of doors when I'm there. You've got a great eye for that sort of thing!!
Virginia I am your newest follower. Just got involved in the blog world since I have a new website and blog for my business. So glad I found your wonderful blog. You are living my dream! Now at least I feel like I can tag along with you and enjoy the sites. Thanks and have a great week end!
Such inviting steps! Reminds me that I have not finished reading the book on Madame Sevigne...by now I'm sure it's tucked away in some secret hiding place.
Tres grand staircase beautifully shown here Virginia, perfect shadows on the sculpture at the bottom of the stairs. p.s. I knew you wouldn't have the slightest doubt as to where my photos were taken, too easy oui!
I am a former elementary school teacher, a full-time photographer, lover of all things French ( whose French is slowly improving), obsessive Paris traveler, enthusiastic church and community volunteer, and grandmother to 5 delightful grandchildren.
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.

Love this, V!
If I were there, I definitely would not miss it; in fact, if I were there I definitely would not miss the Marais!
Gorgeous shot with great lighting! :)

One of my favorite places indeed!
I go here pretty much every time I'm in Paris—and I'm starting to miss it again. You too, I'll bet.

Paris definitely needs to get moving on their project to make the city more handicapped friendly.

Have a nice weekend. K

This was one of my favorite museums in Paris, and isn't that staircase the best?
