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.

Classic Paris V. Great choice to go with black and white. It separates each layer of distance beautifully. J.
A beautiful landscape shot!
Je ne voudrais pas te faire de peine, mais il y a quelque temps, la grande roue n'était pas là.
Une vue extraordinaire... de quoi rêver pour un moment...
Gros bisous
This view makes my heart jump. I wish that the town planners in Melbourne had the same vision – to preserve our skyline. There once was a “Paris” end of Melbourne that has been decimated by soulless skyscrapers and nappropriate development. Bisous
Archetypical Paris. Love it. Thanks for brightening my morning with a black and white photo.
Excellent! Love this view!!
Alain,
LOL!!! :)
I was going to congratulate you on the inclusion of la grande roue, but Alain beat me to it. Love the view!
I love photos taken from rooftops. What a view! :)
I love the gold on the domes.
I love this view! However I've never seen La Grande Roue. It's gone every time I'm in Paris. :(
B&W makes it out of time. Great picture!
Thanks, V, for getting us ready for the holiday season with the la grande roue! :)
This looks like a scene from the early days of photography.
I am starting to have major longings for Paris again...your lovely photo is increasing those longings...merci, Virginia
Yeah - but YOU Virginia make the most beautiful photos!!!!!!!! :)
Let's hope so, V!
Dream shot Virginia.. next year maybe!!
I´m taking photos from the rooftop of the Galeries Lafayette every time I´m in Paris.
