Ah yes, the delights of dining out of doors in Paris... had lunch in the 7th on Tuesday in the rue de l'Université, lovely, lovely... one never tires of eating out in Paris... So when are you coming back ???
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.

This dinner looks very wonderful in deed. Poetic location to enjoy a great evening.
This looks like a fabulous place to dine. Make mine escargot & verve cliquot.

Merci - trouvé !
What a great photo! It would be a real treat to be seated outside in the evening enjoying a meal and people watching. :)
The very soul of Paris!
Dining outside is a great pleasure especially in good company. (Of course also because smoking is allowed ... until further!)
