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.

Oh my gosh, how fabulous! Her satchel looks pretty groovy, too. Wonderful, V.
This is not a Vélib but her very own with lights and custom handlebars. Bravo! Oh, the chapeau rouge is the exclamation point on this shot.
Fabulous! I plan to be Madame when I grow up and ride my bike all over Paris. Doubt I could ever pull off the chapeau, though!
How cool is that! It gives me hope that I might still be able to do that! Ha :)
Love that!
Pretty red. She is ready to go! I say good for her! She IS in Paris after all. :)
I knew you would love her red hat.
I envy her ability to be so mobile!
Good for her!A role model for us!
That is one awesome lady!--frenchcravings.com
Indeed, courageous and obviously willing to evolve with the times... I'm wondering what she was listening to...
Wow, what a bicycle. When I have reached her age I want to be like her!
Oh my that is too fabulous, she's the lady we all want to be at this age, great shot Virginia..hmmmmm I wonder what caught your eye!!
How fantastic! On so many levels- her chapeau rouge, her panniers, that she's got an ipod. Lovely shot.
Genevieve is one modern French Grand-mere!
Salut chere V de B!
I have a feeling what we see is the least of her story.
Adore pics full of narrative.
Garden & Be Well, XO Tara
