In January 2010, we stayed in a flat right across the street from Galerie Vivienne. This beautifully restored 19th century covered passage was hard to resist and we stopped in several times. We had champagne at the little cafe there on our last night. I especially like the glass roof and the wonderful lanterns.

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 stayed near here on my first trip to Paris and have gone back whenever I'm there.
Do you know if the apt. you rented will be available in late August?
I love places like that and look forward to seeing them in person one day ...
You caught the spirit of the place,,,
Bonjour, Virginia,
I saw your comment on Eric's Daily Photo site and followed you here:) I'm not a stalker, just an obsessive Francophile! LUV your pics and the Paris Rouge photos --- what a combination. Red is my favorite color. A tres bonne idea! I've added a link to your blog on mine. A bientot!
The galleries are very nice, but they're not for the tourist looking for a bargain. There are only about twenty left of the hundred or so that were there many years ago when they were in fashion.
I'm sure I've mentioned that I used to work in one of Paris's passages, and they're rather special to me. This one is especially beautiful—and you've captured it so well, V!l
What a wonderful passage to stroll and shop...or stop for a cup of cafe or a glass of vino!!!
Gorgeous ! I just love those lights!!
I love your new profile photo..beautiful V !
Long Island ice tea sounds perfect for those glasses!!!
How did I not notice the new profile photo??? Beautiful V!!!
Pamela and Chieftess, a thank you to my friend Mary Beth Shelton (Shelton Photography) that is so dear to practice new lights or cameras etc. on me!
Starman, I don't show many places in Paris but lèche-vitrine est libre!!!!
Alexa, you'll have to email me where you worked. How wonderful..... I hope! :)
Thrishia, I love your blog and your vintage French postcards!!
Karen, we chatted about this via email and somehow I"ve deleted my bookmark for Janeen's apt. I'm working on it.
Daryl, I hope I'm with you!
VP, thank you
Very good framing of this structure !
It is a handsome arcade, Virginia. These are probably the origins of more modern indoor shopping malls. I much prefer this version.
Virginia, I too loved the glass ceiling and the lanterns -- great photo and beautiful reflection in the half-moon window. Simply delightful!
Galerie Vivienne is soooo beautiful! I love these lanterns.
I love that place!
