If you find your way down to the lower level of the Louvre, you'll find this room where the sculpture restoration takes place. Eerie? Yes, but what a wonderful find!

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.

Way to give me the heebie jeebies!!!
I hope it was less scaring for real than the impression from your photo! :-)
I saw this room too!!!
Bravo, great find! :)
Léia
Une belle photo... qui pourrait être le point de départ d'une oeuvre...
Gros bisous.
Oh a wonderful find indeed x
So glad that you did not get lost down there! Great shot, V!
Well, I've never done that before at the Louvre! We'll have to look for the sculpture restoration department the next time we're in the Louvre.....maybe next summer? Qui sais!
I've been there, also. Very nice shot.
Great shot...thanks for dropping by my blog too.

Yay! A great find Virginia - but I wouldn't want to locked down there overnight!
Oh what a lovely 'spooky' kind of feel that image has Virginia, nope I would not like to be locked in there at night, good imagination I have!!
Its Lady GaGa!
I'm surprised that many of you have not seen this room. It is visible from the floor above as I recall. I've actually found it twice I think. Now you must all search for "her" the next time you are there! :)
V
I've also seen this room. You've captured the ambience of the place perfectly in this b&w shot!
I am exhausted tonight and didn't need you to put nightmares in my mind.
The magic of Paris is being shown on every single one of your photographs Virginia.
Costas
Costas,

V
