Adorable! A field trip to the marché—so French. When I lived in Paris, I had a shiny red raincoat just like this. All my friends started calling me Petit Chapéron Rouge.
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.

Crowds of children make very good candids !
Little red riding hood in Paris. How gorgeous, V!
Little Sophie really made your photo rouge with her red rain coat! You sure made the best out of a drizzly morning!
Even drizzle can't make it look anything less that gorgeous Virginia.
Drizzle or Non! Mouffetard is such a treat. Love the little girl in the red coat and those gorgeous pink boots- just priceless!
A mini Gallic version of Broadway this weekend here
Every time I see this scene in Paris, I'm envious of the kids and wonder if they'll ever realize how lucky they are to live here.

Even the wet days are wonderful there and love the red accents.
Happy week
