What absolutely stunning photos! I am visiting Paris in a few weeks and can't wait to visit Laduree for a macaroon! I intend visiting all your posts for some inspiration!!
Now that's an inviting photo! I believe that if the only way to get my Paris macaron fix was to stand and wait in front of this shop all night, I'd do it.
Virginia do join up with "Out of the box" It's great fun! I found the easiest way to display the crayons was to simply cut and paste the image directly from the site onto your blog and then highlight the image and link it up(assuming you use blogger?) Look forward to viewing your posts!!!
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.

Oh those Laduree macarones are so divine, I still remember them well!!Lovely golden image Virginia.
Perhaps she was looking for one last macaron (or a dozen) for the trip home... lovely glow in this photo.

How do you hold yo camera still that late at night or does the French wine help steady yo hand?

Nice ... I like shots like this ..
Maybe she wants to be the first customer.
I love the golden glow in this photo. Do you remember which location this was?
Harriet, the one near the Madeleine or Opera. That's all I can remember.
