why do flower shops in Paris look prettier, more inviting, enticing, irresistible.. more this and that than anywhere else... more expensive also.. in comparison with Belgium and Holland, so when I get there, I just look and enjoy and buy at home :)
Oh gosh, I could spend hours in a flower shop with all the gorgeous fleurs. It would be hard to pick just one bouquet.
Have you ever heard of Rosemarie Schultz? I believe she had a shop in Paris. She makes the most beautiful sachets and dried arrangements. I have a few of her sachets that have never lost their scent. :)
Wonderful, V! It makes me happy whenever I get to pass by this place—or maybe I'm already happy because that means I'm in Paris. Either way . . . you just made me another shot of happy!
ahhhhh, my favorite things, FLOWERS.. One can never have enough. What a beautiful shop.. Thanks to you, I can see Paris every day... Beautiful photo.. Merci cher ami, Penny
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.

Every flower shop in Paris is a delight for the eyes.
Yes, the name really makes it worthwhile to visit.
I'd be happy to see this shop, but then again, I'd be happy to be anywhere on the Ile Saint-Louis.
Yet another impossible-to-resist spot in Paris. And I love the foliage that's tumbling down from the upper floor. Happy Friday, dear V.
