Ferme à la table

One thing I've learned in Paris is to push doors and see what's behind. ( Merci Peter). This day, I was wandering alone in the Marais and decided to walk through and have a look. This was a group that brought fresh produce from the countryside for the locals to purchase. Here in Alabama we call this farm to table. They were kind enough to let me have a look and a few photos. I love this photo because it shows a side of Paris that I've not seen.

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.

A very unusual view! One would never think it's in Paris .
Looks like sort some of haggling taking place there
Those doors sure do look like the coul tell a few stories. Great texture.
Even the people in Paris need fresh produce. Ha I agree with you that this scene is not one you would expect to see in Paris. :)
Truly behind the scenes..
Good for you. I have also learned not to be too timid. No problem most of the time.
A different kind of "secret garden." Love the way you composed this, V—I feel like I'm peeking in.
I'm going to do that too when I'm in Paris! I love finding wonderful things behind their gates, and usually it is worth the nerves of getting caught or yelled at in French :)
I never cease to be amazed at what is behind the doors! This is a wonderful find!
They can't be too interested in selling their goods if they're behind closed doors.
Here in Maine & in France I enjoy seeing a generation of young people who is involved in direct farmer's markets & organic farms...(I sound like a dame d'un certain åge, n'est-ce pas?)
sometimes it is better not to open closed doors... sometimes it is better to push !
the question is what to do when :)
Beautiful street shot V!
Great shot! Look at those old doors!!!! Love, love, love!

What a wonderful result of the "pushing-the-doors" attitude! :-)
I learned to push doors for the best of them! I was hesitant at first but we found such great things, now I'm rather bold.
