Peter and Mary, I'll bet you knew that I didn't take a "big picture" shot! I'm all about the details and just looked back and have no clue about the mausoleum, sorry.
Genie, Maybe Peter knows something we don't!
Harriet, I love the details and patina as well.
I agree with Mary, Passy might just be my new favorite!
I am a former elementary school teacher, a full-time photographer, lover of all things French ( whose French is slowly improving), obsessive Paris traveler, enthusiastic church and community volunteer, and grandmother to 5 delightful grandchildren.
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.

Good question Peter!!! Now that we've seen the detail, can you share a pix of the entire mausoleum???
IMHO, Passy is a jewel of a cemetery!
Love the patina and intricate detail.

I'm with you, V—it's all in the details. And this is a beauty!
One never knows when Caspar might answer.

Thank you for bringing Paris to me!!!! One day I am actually going to visit-It's my dream vacation.
Your work is beautiful.
Absolutely stunning, but my knees would be the only things knocking there.
Oh damn, I thought a handsome French man would answer.
Great shot. I love the handle; it's so very girly and chic!
