I don't know why I've waited so long to share these. Tanning in Paris seems to be the French national past time. Today, Jardin du Luxembourg, but I have others!

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.

Enfin du soleil !... Il faut qu'elles fassent attention elle peuvent se faire mouiller par des arrosoirs automatiques!...
Jolie photo...
Gros bisous
Do I have to put this on my to-do-list for my next trip to Paris?
Ah. I know who must be happy: the old guys working inside Le Sénat right behind these girls!!! Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)
Superb photo. Is there a residence in the background?
Lovely shot Virginia.
Greetings, Joop
doesnt look very comfortable
Veronique, I"m LOL at the thought of the "old guys" in le Sénat sneaking peeks at the window!
Joe, see Veronique's comment. :)
Vreni, bien sûr!

Tanning with elegance, because imagine...what a fabulous place to enjoy the sunshine! ;)
French girls are so chic!

For some reason, I didn't think French women tanned? I don't know why I thought that? HA
Perfect photo for summer time! Like a great artist you have repeated the colors of the building in their skin tones!
The photo is gorgeous and the backdrop is fantastic. Just hope that only fit and young girls dare to amuse 'old guys' in such a relaxed way. They add to the Jardin's charm in the sunshine.
Except in a hot shower, I can't even imagine being naked (or nearly so) in Paris.
NOw that looks wonderful and these ladies certainly can wear their bikini's.
HAHA, just before and after the rain!Sunny days are so rare in Paris, no wonder those girls enjoy them!
Ah oui, c'était un peu aujourd"hui ou jamais! j'adore l'attitude relax des personnes sur la photo!
Well I'm obviously not a French girl but I'd have a hard time whipping off my top and stretching out right there in front of le Sénat!! Apparently the French are still intent on tanning themselves anywhere they can. Wait till I run my other photos. Bon été !!!
Love the comments above Virginia, I too can imagine the men in Le Senate making those funny French 'appreciation' noises whilst ogling out of the window!!
Grace,
I don't believe I've ever heard a Frenchman make the "appreciation" noise! Dommage!

The color palette makes this look like a vintage photograph.
Wonderful backdrop for tanning! I thought French women probably avoided the sun.
