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.

Andressa and Modniza, thank you for visiting and leaving such nice comments.
Harriet. Don't you just love this place?
Janey, it is a lot. I thought about a crop but couldn't bear to cut anything out!
The guy on the menu looks more like a Quaker than a Frenchman.
Chère Virginia, un petit cadeau sur mon blog pour toutes ces belles photos de Paris que vous partagez avec nous.
à bientôt

I have linked you up to our Traveling Tuesdays...
I always love a reason to visit Europe!
You must have taken this in winter—they have lots of heaters out there! Nice, though, to dine on the terrace in any weather, n'est-ce pas?
Thank you for sharing on this Traveling Tuesday. Any day in Paris is a good one! Merci!
Hmmm, the location is great, but am I allowed to suggest that it doesn't need the cartoon character? Sincerely, Mr. Curmudgeon.
Based on the location, I guess the quiche du jour and main entrees were tres chers, non?!
Bon appetit, V!
R U Ready 4 Wednesday morning's posting?
What a beautiful setting!
Happy memories for me. I remember having a coffee on a cold April day here with my best buddies from Ohio.
How intriguing! Let's do lunch!
Way back in the dark ages when I last visited Paris I loved the outdoor cafes under those vaulted ceilings ... tho I doubt any place I ate at back then is still open
I so love Place des Vosges.
Is M. Gilbert, Marquis de la Fayette holding the menu?
One of the items in the menu says Filet de baz "a la plancha". This is Spanish for grilled.
I love this shot, Miss Virginia!
I do remembere sitting here for several hours last September.
Virginia: I haven't been to your site in ages....so much to catch up on. I adore it. You just may be the only blog who can carry off the black background! it works well here!
Anyway, I'll be back often now. When are you going again? No Paris for me this year, but to Provence in September...
The colors and all the details in this photo are magnificent!
