Nothing says welcome like a 'carpet' of rose petals. This lovely little flower shop makes it very hard to resist stepping inside!

About Me

- 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.
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.

Hor right you are Virginia. I saw so many perfect fleurists in Paris. It was inspiring .
Better than a trail of breadcrumbs, any day. Those petals would entice me inside for a closer look.
A path of rose petals, that's really a bienvenue!
God bless you!

A welcoming scene ...
Dear Virginia the idea is very poetic. BUt.... I think the employees hate it :D
I know this shop! I've shot it as well! What fun - this small world full of lovely people who can see such everyday beauty.
Bon weekend, Virginia.

That's a clever, eye-catching idea to tempt visitors to stop in! Could you smell the roses?
Ciao, V!
Fetching! Definitely makes me want to take a closer look. It inspires romantic thoughts and, is that a waft of essence of rose I detect?
Absolutely lovely and I would never have thought to do this little border of rose petals!

Lovely entrance and I can even see the leaves of a hydrangea on the left... very inviting!
Those Parisiens are always so clever....and we are so lucky to have you capturing it all for us.
What a great way to draw customers into their shop :)
A path of rose petals!!! You hang around in classy parts of town, Virginia.
An interesting use of rose petals.
Great capture, V! So romantic, poetic, lovely—and they didn't skimp either. :~}
The florists of Paris are always a joy! They look so fabulous. I bet this one smelt magnificent too.
Very welcoming! I hope you went in. :)
What a nice idea! I love it!
