Being ever practical (how I can even write that haha!) I wonder how much leeks cost in a Paris market, they're so expensive here in Perth. Gorgeous 'fresh' image Virginia.
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.
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.

Le poireau, c'est moins cher que le muguet, et dans un vase, c'est très décoratif !
Yes the markets here are quite delightful....
manifique photo, j"aime beaucoup aller en petites marchés , très pitoresques!
I love the markets in Paris - which is funny because I don´t like the Viennese markets - especially the Marché des Enfants Rouges.
I think I have been there - a few times, but never back with such a perfect photo! :-)
love Paris through your eyes!
I wish you a happy happy day,
elena

I was and I did—but that was a whole year ago and I need another fix. Thanks for this lovely virtual visit, V!
This might be the first image in Paris Vert series.
Oh Virginia, how I love your header photo!
Happy First Day of May.
