We spotted Madame, reading her book and prepared for an afternoon of tanning at Tuileries.

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.

She already spent a lot of time doing this! :o)
Elle a bien raison ! Il faut saisir à temps les rayons de soleil...
belle photo.
Gros bisous
She seems to be basquing in the lines of her book as well as the sunshine.
Great position:))
Great shot.....i love it.
Greetings, Joop
Oh! Thank you for this great photo. Perhaps that will be me in five years....
Here's my
Paris in July post. Please stop by and leave a link to your Paris in July post(s) so that I can stop by and say hello now and then this month.
Wonderful! I like the lady in the background, lying down in the half shade...wish she were me...
What a lovely way to spend the day...nothing like reading a good book and getting a bit of color while the sun is shining. :)
At least she has kept her dress on, unlike some tourists I have spotted around the French capital lately :-) Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)
I love it. Tanning is an art form here and I don't mind all the mahogany bodies like some. A
Dear Virginia
What a wonderful photo!
Wishing you a beautiful week.
fondly,
Penny
And why not? Would love a dose of warm sunshine at the moment - cold and more wet than not here! Have a lovely day. Fx
How neat Madame is. Even petit tapis isn't forgotten. Such photos of yours Virginia bring a dimension of reality to Paris, not GRAND all the time but humanly too. Thank you.

I like this capture a lot Virginia ... a Madame doing what I'd love to be doing ...wonder what she's reading? ... maybe Madame Bovary perpétré.
what a great eye you have for photos in Paris. I'm participating in Paris in July too. Here's Mine
I love this!
And lovely tanned legs she has, lovely candid capture Virginia, would love to be doing exactly that!!
I like that she took a cloth on to which to rest here bare feet. That's something I would do.
She looks very contented with her day of sunning! I love it!
I have never taken my book and just sat down in a park but I do love watching the French reading.
And with a book! One of my favorite things to do ever. Have never done it in Paris though. Must remedy that. Soon. :)
Charming shot..very french!!!
