You do know by now why I love this blog so much. Everyday, I get to take a little trip back to Paris and relive so many wonderful memories. I found these photos last night. I smiled as I remembered that afternoon last July when I took these photographs at the
Musée Jacquemont-André. This staircase is really just spectacular, don't you agree?
Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteYes, absolutely gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThe staircase IS spectacular and your photos really give it full (if not added) value! Perfect light!!
ReplyDeleteStunning staircase! I finally visited this museum a few years ago and loved it. Ah to be sweeping down this staircase in that black dress and veil from Printemps you photographed, headed off to a fashionable Parisian party.
ReplyDeleteAs soon as I saw the top half of the first photo, I immediately knew where you were. One of my favorite museums.
ReplyDeleteGreat capture. The ironwork of that staircase is just wonderful.
the shape, the shadows .. superb
ReplyDeleteSexy is the first thing that popped into my head so that's what I'm sticking with. :)
ReplyDeleteI jumped the gun and published too soon.
ReplyDeleteDid you get a chance to eat in the restaurant Musée Jacquemont-André? We had a very nice lunch and the dessert was magnifique!
It's so nice to see my favorite city through your lens. I love your header too. It looks just like the view from the Palais Royal apartment where we stay.
That did it I'm going to plan my next trip right now.
Oh how I love Paris. :)
They don't make them like that any more.
ReplyDeleteA gem.
So elegant! A bygone era.
ReplyDeletevw: qualitto I'm pretty sure that is Italian for "quality" no?
I can envision someone like Barbara Stanwyck or Joan Crawford making an entrance down those stairs.
ReplyDeleteYes I do agree. You take the most wonderful photos.
ReplyDeleteNow that's what I'd call a sweeping staircase. So beautiful—and so beautifully captured! I love your blog for the same reason you do (and who doesn't love a good vicarious "memory" as well?).
ReplyDeletePeter,
ReplyDeleteA wonderful choice you made to visit this lovely museum. Don't think I would have found it on my own, but then there's a lot in Paris I can't find on my own! :)
Starman,
Awwww, you can't see moi sweeping down that staircase? :(
James,
Sexy? why I think you're right, it is.
Wayne,
Sadly they don't make them like this anymore.
Alexa,
So many wonderful times remembered and it's nice to share them with all of you.
Daryl and Debs,
thank you so much.
Katie,
Oui, that dress from Printemps was just the best. I loved the veil as well.
Maya,
Sadly bygone!
harriet,
Maybe you'll visit again this spring?
Jeanne and Nadege,
Merci!
It is very spectacular and grand. The lighting is beautiful... great photo.
ReplyDeleteVirginia,
ReplyDeleteI just stumbled upon your blog and I am captivated. Your images are absolutely beautiful.
Since I reside in California, I can't make it to your photography classes in Birmingham. Are you planning a Paris photography workshop?
Anon,
ReplyDeleteWell that is a delightful possibility for me. I'd love to do just that. What I'd really like is to accompany a group to Paris for a photography tour! Want to help me find a way??

I'd love to help. I'll email you.

Absolutely fabulous...both the staircase and the photos!!! Don't know the black dress you all referred to, but if it's long and flowing...that would get my vote!!!
ReplyDeleteIndeed, this is a splendid stairway.
ReplyDeleteThis post really makes «Louis» wish he could take Mme la Vache to Paris. She's never been there...
CHieftess,
ReplyDeleteScroll down a few days to the Printemps photos! Ohlala!
That definitely works!!!
ReplyDeleteWell, of course I would expect tu, that's a given.
ReplyDeleteAm I correct in my recollection that this was once someone's house?
ReplyDeleteOoh la la indeed!
