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.

J'arrive!!! Il faut également un bon verre de vin blanc pour accompagner ce plat !...
Merci pour cette photo généreuse.
Gros bisous.
Ah! Les fruits des Mer ...and served on a bed of ice .... yes! I'd definitely be taking a trip inside.
My favorite food! I won't resist!
Very tempting, V. My tummy is rumbling ~ I wish I had some of this waiting for me.
Somehow with a restaurant welcome mat like this, you just know the entire meal and ambiance is going to be wonderful.
very inviting!
It's a great idea!

This picture makes it seem too small to have an inside.
I'm not a seafood eater but the display is lovely.
In a word—yum! (Well, most of it anyway.) Love the old wooden shutters too.
What an excellent still life.
Starman,
It's like many restos that have the outside seafood "rooms".
This is a tempting dish. But, of course, that is exactly the purpose.
Thanks Virginia...I'll look out for it next time I'm in that area....looks divine.
that's a lot of fruits de mer
It's near Café de la Paix, if memory serves....which it rarely does!

I did, but it totally looks good
