There are a very few places in Paris that I think are off the beaten path. Why this fabulous museum ( that overlooks la Tour Eiffel) is still one of them, I have no idea. Have you been?
nEVER even heard of! But then, I don't live intra muros Paris and therefore I'm only ever a 'short term' visitor - for a purpose, for a few hours.... Thanks a lot Virginia for opening up our eyes for all those lovely, lovely sides of this glorious (and often bothering) place called Paris :)
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.

My first thought is is a church !
Amazing. The figures of the table remind me of a chess set.
The mini statues are very interesting!
God bless you!

The red walls set off these beautiful architectural elements perfectly!
Curieux mélange de styles. Je ne connaissais pas, il y a beaucoup de choses autour du Trocadéro.

Alain,
Venez a Paris en janvier et Peter et moi irons avec vous!
Kiki, I have found a lot of people haven't visited this beautiful museum. You must go!
I haven't Virginia, but maybe next year! Thanks for the tip.
Even if I lived next door for two years I never went inside... shame on me.
