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.

Not to mention the great concerts that can be heard there.
Une très jolie dentelle de vitraux...
Une belle vision grâce à vous.
Gros bisous et bon dimanche.
Stunning, V! Starman is right. What a treat to enjoy live music here in summer, when the long daylight hours make this place even more special. Bon dimanche to you!
That is such a glorious church...love seeing it in your photo as well as on the chapel site.
Oh, yes, those windows, those windows...when I was there, I shared the experience with many, many tourists & I admit I got distracted...So it is nice to see the pure beauty in your photo, merci, Rita
We were there...so wonderful!
Virginia,
This is one of my favourites.
I was in awe when we went to the chapel and I took many pictures. We have one of the images printed in large format and it hangs framed in our home. Every time I look at it I feel like I'm back in that beautiful chapel, which in itself is like stepping back in time.
This is one of my favorite places in Paris. The first time I walked in, I came from below -- I went up the narrow stone spiral staircase that had a sign showing a body pitched forward, saying "risque de trebuchement." I clutched the rail. And then walked into this amazing, ethereal space. I imagine you've heard a concert here -- doesn't matter if they are playing the lollipops -- it is so acoustically perfect, and to sit and hear this music while watching the light gently diminish. Gasp. What a lovely memory you have brought me this Sunday morning.
I LOVE this image. I'm going to Paris in May and cannot wait to see this in person. Pictures say so much, and you captured it beautifully.

This is something not to be missed! Once you climb the very tiny wooden stairs you enter into what can only be described as walking into a giant Kaleidoscope! Simply beautiful.
Lovely shot!!!
Beautiful, Virginia.
Gorgeous!
My favorite church in Paris, just standing in the blue light. Thanks for the sacred feeling on Palm Sunday.
That's a beautifully lit shot. Sainte Chapelle is one of my favourite spots in Paris.
What a glorious place to worship.
Fantastic capture of an incredibly beautiful church!
The light and colors here are absolutely gorgeous.
