Everything's rosy on the rue Montorgueil. Great "foodie" street. One of the best hamburgers I've ever had (and frites) came from a little cafe on that street. And it was served by a friendly, smiling waiter who even offered me an American menu to read. Would go back there again in a heartbeat for a taste of home.
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.

Those chairs look rather uncomfortable.
De - vine !

A beautiful shade of red!
There is not much that could be more fabulous for sure. I am in love with this! :-
Une très jolie façade...mais pour un restaurant, cela ne suffit pas.
I've been by this spot more than once -- it always enchants me.
That's a lot of Paris rouge, mon amie—and I love it!
