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.

Those red doors and blue skies are so beautiful within the total image, beautiful architectural shot. Have a beautiful Sunday !
Hi Virginia
We visit Troyes each time we are in France as our daughter lives quite close by.
We do the factory shops.... and I only occasionally find something. It's great for household stuff and childrens clothes.
We always go into Centre Ville for lunch - there's a creperie I love!
Last September we had magnificent Violet ice cream too - I wish I could replicate it here - so yummy!
Most unusual for the Cathedral to be closed.....
Thank you for taking me back to Troyes!!
Please come over and see me as I've just done a post on our Canal trip in France last year.
Beautiful! I love the red doors:)

The contrast of the neutral tone of the building and the vivid red and blue is stunning! It is almost like you took a b/w photo and "painted" the colors. Just love this, Virginia -- I have not been to Troyes but this makes me want to take a little trip.

Did you Photoshop this?
Wong,
Thanks for your visits and nice comments!
Roses,
I'm sorry I didn't get inside as well. I'll be over to your place today for sure!
Starman, I wouldn't begin to know how to do this in Photoshop!
Genie,
It's a charming little town. Maybe we'll go together one day.
Maria,
Thank you so much.
Wow—those doors really pop! Just love all the architectural detail here too. Wonderful church (and photo), V.
Lovely V!!! Ditto to all above!!!
Virginia, I love the contrasts -- this definitely makes me want to go to Troyes and explore it. A beautiful photo for Sunday.

The contrast of that red against the dingy concrete is just gorgeous!
