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.

The perfect formula indeed!
This formula matches for every part of France, I'd say! :o)
I love Paris through your lents!
Absolument! (although there's something to be said for the Formule entree + plat too. :) )
Interesting blend!
A perfect picture of a gorgeous building! :)
This scene is not something you'll find only in Paris. It could be anywhere in Europe!
I don't usually enjoy math, but this is a splendid equation. Love!
And I'll add: + Virginia + camera = gorgeous photo! (Your banner shot is killin' me too.)
That formula works. Of course, there are many formulae that all add up to Paris.
Perfect formula. Gorgeous pic, French Dilapidated always looks so much better than anywhere else.
And it all = l'amour pour Paris!
