I have visited the Église Saint Paul - Saint Louis in the Marais many times. I always like to use the
side entrance which opens onto this charming little alley.

About Me

- Birmingham, AL, United States
- 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.
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.

Hi Virginia,
Your photograph is fabulous and love the bleus of the volets, that seem to look better the longer they stand.
Happy week
Carolyn
J' adore votre Paris bleu.
Costas
It's a charming composition, I'm enchanted by the door and the windows with gorgeous flowers!
Léia
rue St Paul et St Antoine are favorite streets.. Me too I think these blue doors are special, belle photo
Oh, how gorgeous, V! Je l'adore!
Delightful image Virginia, shabby chic done to perfection!
Almost as charming as the alleys along Morris Street ..
The midday sun brightens this beautiful narrow alley, making some distinctive shadows of the lantern and cascading flowers... love this.
Love this photo! It would be a divine oil painting in an antique gold frame!
The window boxes have transformed this alley What a gorgeous composition, V!
Sweet and colourful image!
Hello.
What a beautiful photo. Found you through travel Tuesdays on Sandi's Whistlestop blog. Thank you for sharing this lovely picture.
Even their alleys are gorgeous and romantic!!!
Merci everyone. I love this special little alley in Paris. I am glad you did as well!

Postcard perfect! The light, the colors, and the typical French features make this a delightful photo!
I love the blue "volet" and the flowers at the windows! During my recent stay I saw a lot of blue in Paris!
Extremely charming! I love the lighting!
How do the Europeans make such wonderful window boxes? It must be in their genes, and yet many of us in the USA are carrying European genes without the window-box-making gene. Hmmm. Maybe it is the air?
This photo with the amazing French Blue shutters just takes my breath away.
Bonjour chère Madame.
Votre regard est étonnant car quoi de mieux qu'une personne qui se laissera guidée par son coeur tout comme vous le faite.
Loin des politiques les citoyens américains et français ont parcouru un long chemin ensembles.
Parfois dans la joie et aussi dans la tristesse.
Vos photographies, Madame, renforce le chapitre joyeux de notre histoire commune.
Continuez merci.
Bzzz... (c'est ma signature)
