A Sunday morning stroll would be even better, a chance to take it all in..is that the bookinists (sp?) I see there, oh the memories of searching through for interesting postcards, thanks Virginia.
Hi J, It was probably a American tourist that couldn't even go to Paris and relax over coffee and a pastry. :) V
Shell, we will all join you. Come to think of it, I was strolling when I took it, but not with a pastry, too hard to hold the camera and munch at the same time!
I'll settle for a good stroll around Paris. Even that is sometimes too fast to take in all the beauty. Thankfully we have your photos to remind us of where we've been!
Pont des Arts, bien sûr, but this was either taken before the "locks" or after the locks were removed (yet again). They are there now and a bright red one is mine!
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.

Great photo. "Sunday Morning" and "Run" - I don't understand. Is this some sort of French habit.
I'll take the Sunday morning stroll instead. With a pastry...

Happy Fourth of July!
Love this composition, V. I'm up for a brisk walk, but run? Jamais! (Besides, I have to stop every few feet to take yet another photo.) :~}
A lovely stroll would suit me. :) I'm wondering if anyone dares to run up all those stairs?

um belo dia para praticar exercicios que dao prazer
Certainement! You'd probably be surprised at how many Frenchies go for a run during the day.
Love it!
My Sunday morning run> Surely you jest. Sunday mornings are for coffee and newspapers on the porch.
I don't know the brigade, but it sure looks great to step foot on!
I would stroll too just to enjoy all the beauty!
A historical photo - no padlocks! :-)
