Square René-Vivani with Église Saint-Julien-le-Pauvre in the background. Taken through a dirty bus window, I'm pretty amazed it turned out so well.

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.

THAT'S the art of a true photographer.... a perfect photo through a dirty bus window! Brava V. Fxx
This picture looks like acrylic painting here.
I'd never have known, V! It's picture perfect.
(Actually, I think the little park is called Square René-Viviani; the adjacent street is Rue Lagrange.)
A charming little park with a perfect view of Notre Dame and with Paris' oldest surviving tree, obviously planted in 1601!
Peter, now that's a mystery. I"ve been in Square René Viviani as well but snapped a sign right after this photo that said Parc Lagrange. There's a video on youtube of some guy right there. I"ll just let you solve the mystery for us all svp.! :)
And we were bussing down the side, not the street facing ND.
What a lovely shot with the church in the background. The kiosk looks quite elegant in the midst of this park.
PEter, Genie and solved the mystery. Parc Lagrange sign that I saw was for the underground parking there on the street! It most certainly is Square René-Viviani seen from the side. Merci
V
Happy we solved the mystery!! :-) Anyhow the photo is really nice and the place is seen from an unusual angle, maybe you special skill! :-)
You sure could have fooled me about taking this photo through a dirty bus window, I think it turned out gorgeous. Very beautiful place. :)
Have a great Labor Day Weekend V. :)
You could have fooled me, as to where you are. I haven't been to this darling little park .
V, your pictures through a bus window, are still better than mine!
I think it's a lovely shot of a wonderful spot, no matter how you took it!
This shot is truly beauitful!
Just down the street from a nice bistro.
The photos of Paris are really great, it must be a wonderful city
