Amazing Virginia! Do you remember the name of the cafe? I've just got back from Paris - I'm missing her already and I've got huge withdrawal symptoms - you'd know all about that too!!! much love Shane
Shane, I always say re-entry is hell! Bless your heart. I know you miss Paris, moi aussi! Sorry I don't remember this cafe and it was so dark, I hadn't looked at it from our last trip until the other night.
I do exactly the same - but getting all the questions afterwards (where was it? what's the name of the place? when? etc), I now start writing down either the name and address or taking additional photos of street, name of resto etc..... works wonders on one's memory trigging faculties! Thanks for the generous out-INlook; love it. Bisous, Kiki
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.

Mood is good, well seen!
I absolutely love the mood of this place! What a cosy atmosphere..
If the menu is as good as the artwork count me in V.
It does look cosy. And I'm guessing none of the diners were complaining about her wardrobe malfunction.
Shell, You're probably right!!!!

Décolleté et wardrobe malfunction, I cant say it better...She might either inspire or distract the writers who sit below her...
It's all in the way you view artwork. It's sorta quirky and different. I like it! I wonder what the over 70 crowd might say about it? HAH
Just found your blog and will follow all your spectacular photos. I love Paris! New Follower.
Hugs, Jody
Wow, I think, this IS Paris...
Ha! I do know some people who would be uncomfortable in this café—but none of them are French!
Furniture store or office?
Now we all know that in Paris, no one would balk at this artwork in this lovely café...certainly not me!

Virg...was it in the 5th? Mouffetard area? Rue Jean Calvin? Peut-être?
It's fabulous Virginia, I love the 'Frenchness' of it ...and the glow!
