About Me
- Virginia
- Birmingham, AL, United States
- 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.

M. Shakmundes certainly did have an ominous look on his visage Virginia, had to read the story to see it wasn't you he was glaring at..as if!!A 'honey shop' sounds so sweet!
Quand on voit la quantité de pesticides répandue dans les campagnes, on peut penser que les villes seront le dernier refuge des abeilles.
A honeyshop, how wonderful.That soap looks so good too.
Have a nice weekend
What a GREAT shop. Guess I'll go downstairs and make a cup of tea with a little honey.
When I live in Paris again, I'll gladly go out of my way to buy honey from M. Schakmundès!
Nice post. I wonder the taste of the soap bar?
I'm a big honey fan in tea and on toast. Is the round honey discs with the bees on them edible?
Hi Virginia , I have actually been to that shop, on my very first visit to Paris, .. we were in that area having a a Blogger meet up lunch .. and actually last week, my friend Brigitte who lives in Paris and I were talking about Honey shops, and I told her about this one , she did not know it was there .. did you know about the Bee Hives on top of (I think) la Opera .. I think that is what it is called .. it is amazing.
Dear Virginia, I can imagine the magnificent fragrance of that shop!
Bises,

There are lots of great things and places in the 13éme.
Fine place, fine photos, Virginia.
That first close up shot is so rich.
that is definitely going on my list of shops to visit -- lovely picture of the honey jars!
Honey is a splendid, divine substance. And i adore the bees who make it... :)
Honey on tap- how fabulous. It must smell wonderful.
