i live in New York City where these sidewalk cafe's have become a "thing", i hate them, its like paying the restaurant's rent and have them sit us on the sidewalk with all the exhaust from the passing cars and what-not. them last year i visited Paris, Gawd! how i miss Paris, sidewalk Cafe's and all. thank you for sharing.
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.

Oh they're definitely showing off, and rightfully so! :)
Great photo for a Saturday when one could so enjoy sipping a cafe creme in Paris sitting in one of these chairs! Also, love the new banner photo!!!!
Great capture! The red chairs are matching witht the flowers in the Background... I would love to sit there right now!
This looks soo Paris!
Nice and colorful. Though, in the winter I would prefer to sit inside if it is OK with you.
Your Paris Rouge series is always delightful.
They are veritably batting their eyelids for patrons V.
Beautiful!
