I'm sure you've seen or heard of the locks on the bridges along the Seine by now. Lovers lock them and toss the key in the river. Le sigh!! Supposedly the city of Paris, with nothing better to do, cut them all off and tossed them, but you know what happened... the "power of love" prevailed! Today one of my favorites. Parfait pour le jour de l'amour, n'est-ce pas??
Bisous pour tout le monde!

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.

Thats beautiful xx
That's a beautiful tradition...
and a lock in pink ...
I love the locks which are now back after having being removed by the city last May. It was reported that some antique locks were not touched... perhaps the removal team felt a bit of "love"
Great shot... Joyeuse St-Valentin, mon amie!

Don't you just wonder who started this tradition?
Yes I've heard about it! It's fascinating. I want to visit it myself one day. For now, I get great pleasure from seeing it on your blog.
Happy Valetine's Day!
Perfect for today, V—and a happy St. Valentine's to you! Harriet -- I think the tradition started in Italy, after some characters in a teen love movie (of about a decade ago) declared their love with a "lucchetto d'amore." They're on all the bridges in Florence. Must say, this is the least amateurish one I've ever seen!
Amazing capture and this post is so sweet!
I think it's impossible not be romantic in Paris! ahhhh what a dream!
Happy Valentine's Day!

I saw the locks there last June -- if they removed them in May, it certainly didn't take them long to resurface. Le sigh, indeed ... I like this one because it took a lot of forethought. Happy V day, V!
Ah!!! Those darned city officials...they sure know how to ruin a good thing!!!
How romantic!
Happy Valentine's Day!
Pamela :)
This couple even bothered to put their names on the lock. So romantic.
Beautiful tradition, I didn't know about this...
Happy Valentine's Day!
I hope you all had a day full of love from whomever you hold dear.
Bises,
V
I've heard many stories about this tradition, I wish I could witness it myself - it is so romantic! Thanks for sharing the photo!
Thanks for the info, Alexa.
My husband and I attached our lock
in October. Our friends were with
us in Paris and came along. We
all had a laugh....and yes, I threw
the key in the Seine.
A tourist thing to do...I know!
Sometimes you just have to be a
tourist!
Love your blog!
