Le Tour de France began yesterday in Passage du Gois. Sadly this lovely old vélos won't be a contender.

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.

What a gorgeous shot! I love this peaceful country feel
Can I add - being very prettily parked.
Oh! I do love Le Tour de France and sit up all night watching - Viva Le Tour!!
Awesome postcard, so romantic composition!

I'd love to see them riding bicycles like these. Imagine the convenience of being able to carry their own necessities in those generous baskets. {Who needs speed in France.}
That bike in Le Tour de France would be like entering an 18-wheeler in LeMans.
And that poor old velo doesn't have a riden in spandex either! That's not fair!
Great composition -- love all the colors.
Beautiful picture Virginia, I'll take your velos over a bike in Le Tour any day, a gentle ride down a quiet pretty path (perhaps by a river) sounds much more pleasant.
How nice that there is a little bell as well. "Ring, ring -- coming through!"
Moi je préfère une gentille promenade à vélo qu'une étape forcée...
Très jolie photo.
Gros bisous.
TheChief just bought a new mountain bike on sale...basically because the old one (which has hung in our garage the whole time we've been married) would've cost more to fix up and get running than it could ever be worth!!!
This is something different Virginia.
This is an art school in itself.
A complete photography class.
I know I must go through it from your first post.
Costas
I would gladly take it for a spin...
Who'd ever guess this is Paris? Great shot, V, (and I'll take this bike too).
Seems like we're out in the countryside. Absolutely charming.
Oh so lovely, so very summertime
