If given the choice, I'd still choose the bell, not the surveillance électronique.

- 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.
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.

That Doorbell sure makes a statement. Best to know the owners before you ring it.
It's a lovely doorbell, V. If I had a doorbell like that, I'd actually fasten it to my door instead of tucking it discreetly where no-one can find it!!
So much of Paris is a juxtaposition of the old and modern. This is lovely.
J'ai manqué quelques unes de vos publications... et vos photos m'ont donnée beaucoup de plaisir...
Dans cette dernière, oui tout comme vous je préfère la sonnette...
Gros bisous
Why would you be choosing when there is no choice?
I'm with you, V—though perhaps if I lived there I'd be glad for the security.
Sorry, Virginia. Wrong century.
Now that is a doorbell!! How could you miss that.
I hope you have a great weekend, V. :)
Cela aurait été vraiment dommage de supprimer une si jolie sonnette à cause du modernisme...

j'adore - and totally agree with you, but sadly nowadays living your life in those beautiful places is becoming a bit more dangerous.... so we have both, yesterday's and today's technique, fashion, security!
My friend, I see what you photograph as I see things with my own eyes too - we are soul sisters... :) Love
