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 love 2CV's, either colour would be great. I have always wanted one.
Happy day
Carolyn
Questa simpaticissima auto è sicuramente uno dei simboli della Francia.
I love the blue one, but Could I afford the repair!
I love both of them!
Ah la fameuse dedeuche! Autrefois j'en avais une! je lui caressais le volant pour qu'elle avance plus vite dans les côtes!!! sourire!
gros bisous.
Hi Virginia... ah, les belles doches, err, deux chevaux, which hold such a nostalgic place in many french folks hearts.... saw a nice white one the other day which was named "Dolly" ! Hello dolly ! I love the way they lean the wrong way when going around bends...
Both are very happy looking, V! And both make me smile.
Moi, je prefere le bleu! C'est formidable!
Bleu s'il vous plait! Citroen are the epitome of French cars!
Wow, that takes me back to the Sixties! Great to see deux cheveax in such wonderful condition.
Je préfère le bleu
Blue, Yellow? I would have to take the blue (damage and all) because I could not get the yellow out of that tight space!
Love those cars!
I can't decide Virginia, they are both very cool cars, but what I want to know is HOW is the owner of the yellow car get himself into such a tricky situation haha!
I wonder how the classic is going to get out of that parking space !
HA, I have always been amazed at the Parisian parking skills. I call this the "French Kiss" when both bumpers are touching another car! My daughter says that is why most of their cars are banged up. They just keep bumping the other cars till they can get out!
V
I'd take yellow over blue any day of the week.
There are 2CVs here but it's always a novelty to see one on the street.
Blue, please. And make mine a Porsche. ;-)
Two big cars :)
Love the colors
Le bleu, s'il te plait (even with the wonky headlight).
Back in the '60s, half the people I knew drove one of these—takes me back to fun times, so thanks!
Does this come in black or silver, Virginia? In Connecticut, frivolity is not allowed.
They are fantastic vintage cars, I think the blue is my favorite!
Léia
All french people who were 20 between 50ies and 70ies drove that car at least once in their life! I learned to drive on a blue one, 2CV are part of our national patrimony and have a place in our hearts!
