Located in the 14 arrondissement, Theatre Rive Gauche certainly has one of the loveliest façades I've seen. I've never been to a French movie theatre, maybe this will be my first.
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.

Years ago we saw the Davinci Code when it was first released in Paris.....we then went and found some of the 'sights'....it was a lot of fun.
It is colorful!
I'm a theater-ophile. This one looks simply amazing!
I love to go to the movies in Paris. The audiences there know how to be quiet and just watch the film (unlike here). Bon weekend, ma chere--
This is most certainly a Virginia photograph. Paris rouge! Did you think about converting it to black and white?
paris rouge!!
It looks gorgeous. Every time that I'm in Paris I want to go the cinema, but so far I didn't realize this "project".
What a beautiful facade. I haven't braved a Paris movie theatre either- maybe one time?
