L'Hôtel de Ville

The beautiful Hôtel de Ville Paris, Paris' city hall built in the 16th and 17th centuries.

Rainy Night in Paris

Rainy nights in Paris can be a photographer's delight...or not.

La nuit dernière à Pais

The last day/night in Paris, I find myself in overdrive, trying to squeeze every single image i can shoot to capture the bittersweet moments that I know are ticking away.

L'carrousel

Christmas carrousel at the Hôtel de Ville is always a favorite for the children and photographers!

L'Opéra Garnier

Although I've never been inside, I will never tire of photographing the exterior of the Opera Garnier. 

Night Along the Seine

I never tire of this view!

The other day, a friend reminded me of the movie, MIDNIGHT IN PARIS. I took this photograph in the pouring rain early one evening in Paris. These are the steps beside Saint Étienne du Mont,  where the Gil was picked up each evening at midnight.

A night on rue Mouffetard.

Café Mouffetard

Bienvenue

It was cold and rainy but the warm glow of this café near the Panthéon, begged us to stop in.

Paris Rouge - Pizza

I've had some really good pizza in Paris. I think this charming place must have the best in town, what with all that rouge!

Moonlight Becomes You

I think the exquisite façade of the Cathédrale Notre Dame de Paris is even more stunning at night.

Le quai

 

"It's Paris, it raining." I heard that my first trip to Paris in 2007. Some things never change.  Of course it does, and you seize the moment to capture the reflections, the mood.  Paris at it's best I think.

CDP Theme Day - Landmark

I have no one to blame but myself for this month's theme, yet questioned myself last night as I was perusing my zillion Paris photos, trying to choose A landmark for a  city of landmarks, I chose..... the 3,300 year old Luxor Obelisk at Place de la Concorde.  Although in this photograph, it appears to be made of gold, it is actually yellow granite.

Today I join all of my fellow CDP bloggers around the world who are sharing their city's landmark. Please have a look HERE!

Les Arcs

The Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel is even more beautiful at night, especially with the Grand Roue and the Arc de Triomphe in the background.
