Here in Alabama, we call this Virginia Creeper. I would love to know what the French version is called. In Paris, it is glorious in the fall when the leaves turn , but I love it in the winter as well, when only the vines are left, winding their way up the walls.

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.

We call it Virginia Creeper here in Melbourne too. It's a great vine as it marks each season wonderfully with its changing colours from red to green back to red again before falling and starting again.
A lovely autumnal shot.....
You chose a great background to get the shot. Come play the "Dreaming of France" meme if you want to. Here’s my Dreaming of France meme
how about "vigne vierge"?
and how come alabama calls it virginia anyway?
Lovely! I can feel the crisp breeze!
I agree with the post above and suggest "Vigne Vierge... " - Lovely shades of reds and oranges in the winter. Veronique (French Girl in Seattle) -- from NYC for a change! :-)
What a gorgeous image, Virginia!! Melodic, subtle, mysterious...
Oh, dear, that's not what I know as Virginia creeper. "Mine" is a five-leaved vine--I'll have to google this! The five-leaved one also turns lovely colors in the fall.
Whatever you call it, this stuff makes everything look pretty—especially in autumn, I think. Wonderful image, V!
I think it's so pretty the way it drapes around building and the fronts of homes. It doesn't matter what the season is, it's always pretty to look at. :)
And it is nicely framing a graffiti (stencil?) by vecteur u...
Isn't it ivy?
I know not what the creeper is called Virginia, but it looks mighty pretty here.
