Friends gather for wine and conversation on a late summer afternoon at the Palais Royal. I think this might be one of my many favorite Paris memories.
(I so wanted to join them!)

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.

This is one of my favorite places in Paris!!!
They look as if they are having a very animated conversation about something VERY interesting - because they are all so earnest and eager.
What a great snap in time.
I can see you with your many Paris friends, having a lovely gathering like this one, V. Next time!
They definitely look like the cool, chic, Parisian set! If you were carrying 2 - 3 bottles of vino rosso, I bet you could have joined them....
Bon weekend, V!
When we ourselves are in such a gathering we should stop and count this as one of our many blessings...Love your people shots V...
Looks a nice and interesting talking there, I would love to join this conversation as well! :)
Wonderful capture!
Léia
That grouping looks just like the empty chairs I saw arranged in December... Let's join them!
Bises,
Genie
What a perfect place to meet! I wish I had such a cool option "rendezvous" at
With your Southern charm Virginia? You could have walked right up and been the center of attention!!!
(Of course...a few bottles of vino rosso would certainly have helped!!!)
a very colorful black and white photograph
The young lady with the scarf is interesting.
Looks like a lovely day in the sun with some friends and some good wine!
The Wanderfull Traveler
Here's hoping that one of these days it'll be all of us, having our own "booze-nic" (what my kids call a picnic in Paris since there always seems to be wine). :~}
Meanwhile, I envy them!
I want to join in too!!
