It's no secret that I haunt Place des Vosges every chance I get. I loved the color and textures of the walls and arch. It made me smile. Thank you for indulging me.

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.

I love the colour and texture too V. The golden tones of the bricks is contrasted perfectly by the green mossy tones of the inner sanctum.
I love the little peek of red brick in your photo - it is a great contrast to the soft, muted yellow of the walls! Beautiful!
I love the art galleries in Place des Vosges. And then a pleasant stroll in the park. A nice way to spend a Sunday.
Place des Vosges is a good visit any time,
I like the old buildings
This particular indulgence is my pleasure just as much as yours, V. Merci, ma chère!
Your photo blog is wonderful! A variety of beautiful photos. Thank you for bringing a daily part of Paris in homes around the world. :) And yes, one pertinent comment about the Place des Vosges: a wonderful reminder of the past, just like the rest of Paris. Greetings from Croatia.
This is an understandable obsession, Virginia.
It has been my pleasure to indulge you.
What's not to love with Place des Vosges? This is a stunning angle.
J'adore Place des Vosges.. merci beaucoup Virginia.
