It's no secret whatsover how much I enjoyed Cité de l'Architecture et du Patrimoine. I took you here last summer, but I think we need to revisit. Mary, Peter and I had just the best afternoon exploring this wonderful museum . The view of la tour Eiffel was the icing on the cake. See for yourself.

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.

Pretty artsy V!
Amazing picture, and this wiew, something to dream about..:)
Have a nice day:)
Berit.
Tully a different view of Paris...
Lovely photographed.
From inside this vast museum of architecture, you have captured Paris' most famous symbol. It is almost as if the window was meant as the photo frame for la tour Eiffel. Love this b/w!

The view and light is amazing, V!! I can never have too much of that...
Wow. Cool photo! So much to see in Paris, I feel like I haven't even scratched the surface. I have a feeling I'd love this museum...
Fantastic! Love the B&W, the way ET is framed by the window and the great contrast of the ancient columns displayed with the modern tower!
Love this POV ...
I like your different photo of the Eiffel Tower. Interesting picture.
The window is such a perfect frame for the monument (I always forget the name of that thing...)
PP,
HA, oui, it's easy to forget the name of that tall thing! :)
Highly recommend this museum. Just stunning. I'm glad you all like it as well.
Adeeya and Martina, I think this might be the first visiti here or maybe your first time to comment. Bienvenue!

Okay, I'll say it: ET! ET!! ET!!! Beautifully framed and shot, Virginia—and perfect in b&w.
I agree with many other commenters, Virginia. A lovely subtle shot ... I like the washing outwards of the shades of grey ... I did not know of this museum ... I will add it to my list for next September ..
This shot made my heart jump!
Always a pleasant sight.
What a cool photo of the tower. I've tried and tried to get a good one every time I go. The best one was standing at the bottom looking up through the lights (it was nighttime). It's harder to get a good photo of it than I thought. Plus I was with a group so didn't have the luxury of time.
I've really enjoyed your blog. Paris is such a wonderful city. My favorite place is Shakespeare and Co. Of course, I've only seen the city as a tourist. I know it'd be quite different if one lived there.
Una vista originale della torre Eiffel.
I love these special little glimpses ! You must have been thrilled with this image Virginia.
