Do you know that in Nice, where we have sea and beaches, it's strictly forbidden to walk in streets without being dressed? I mean , here, this guy would have a penalty to pay!
Oh, I love this! Rick and I spent time there in April watching kids play ping pong! No sunbathers during that drizzly trip, but a lovely spot to stop! Merci beaucoup!
I am a former elementary school teacher, a full-time photographer, part-time painter, lover of all things French ( whose français is slowly improving), obsessive Paris traveler, enthusiastic art museum volunteer, grateful 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". My 2008 trip I looked at Paris with a different 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. I was thrilled to return to Paris and the French countryside in June and July of 2009, and blogged daily while there. I've returned to the city I love in January and June- 2010 , January 2011 and January 2012! Each time I visit, it feels more and more like home, and I discover new and interesting things with each trip. I cherish the time with my Paris friends as well as the friends that always join me there. 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.

He's even shed his shoes for that even all over tan. Nice set of legs!
He is sure enjoying the sunshine. Hope the book is not too interesting. He may lose track of time and get sunburnt.
Well, Diane, not quite "all over" thankfully! V, this is the same bench where the three older men were seated another time, vrai?
Comme il est beau...
Why not?
Looks like the guy is storing vitamin D plentiful for the future gray skies season.
I hope that he doesn't have to get up in a hurry...check out the exposed hip! A little much for my part.

More than the sunning I love the fact that so many people still sit and read in France...
Jack, you are too funny!
