Very nice, V! I love this beautiful old church, and made a rendezvous to meet my French blog pal, the lovely Marylène, right here last time I was in Paris. Isn't it amazing how you can meet someone for the first time yet feel like you've known them for years (because you sort of have!)?
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.

Photo taken before or after dancing on the place in front? :-)
This could be in a small town in the country! I like such details in Paris,when we forget that we're in a capital..
A stroll along rue Censier would be tres jolie Virginia!
Beautiful fence and lovely flowers.
I could stroll past this everyday! What a gorgeous fence and building. So very romantic!
Ahhhhh I can smell the flowers and sunlight on me already!
What a lovely church! It looks so peaceful and beautiful. I love the light there..
A beautiful iron gate with roses peaking through....my idea of a great photo - thanks!
Love this fence line and the flowers ... but yesterday's post still has me speechless :-)
Very pretty. This is my kind of place. It looks like it is in a village.
