Opéra Garnier of course. I sat on these steps late one afternoon last June, waiting for Genie and Marie.

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.

I have to laugh, Virginia, because just the other day I took a picture of a bird weathervane abd discovered within a few seconds that one of the birds was real. :D I think most monuments/lamp posts everywhere have pigeons on them that have become 'melded' into them.
What a glorious day with friends that was! Your b/w shot gives the feel of times past. Glad you were not photographing the rappers on the steps of this magnificent building! Mary was with us also... thanks for the lovely reminder of "fun in Paris!"
What is true by lamplight is not always true by sunlight - Joseph Joubert 1754 - 1824. fascinating photo.
Were you early..or were they late? Even when you pause..not much gets by you. This is beautiful...Like that you used black and white. It's timeless...
What a great view and a great photo of it! I just wonder whose job it is to wash off the top of the lantern?
Je te souhaite une bonne journee, V!
Great picture, Virginia!
Oui, oui, I remember that day well...with the young Michael Jackson impersonator...and then the walk by Repetto and on to the Place Vendome. We need to have a repeat redezvous n'est-ce pas?
Oh i love these lamps and the pigeon just adds to it!!
Charming!!!
C'est Magnifique indeed!
Near the subway station at W. 72nd St we have a very similar lamppost ..
Mais oui...c'est trés magnifique !
Well seen! I think it would be possible to make a blog about Paris lampposts only! It would of course include a number of pigeons and seagulls as well! :-)
This photograph is a classic, Virginia, although it also looks like one I took in Florence.
Beautiful! If I could only teleport to that very spot right now.
Très belle photo Virginia !
