I met artist Didier Léspagnol on 14 juillet 2009 as I wandered the streets of the Marais. He was selling his prints at Place des Vosges that day. He was quite charming. I bought 6 prints. I have photos to prove it here. Each trip I seem to find him there or on Saturdays at the Marché de la Création Bastille on boulevard Richard Lenoir. It's the largest open air art market and open year round 10-7. Today a look at Didier's stall. If you happen to meet him one day, buy some prints. Tell him I sent you.

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.

Un bel endroit pour flâner et admirer de belles choses... et faire aussi de merveilleuses rencontres.
gros bisous
So many choices! (so many temptations)
I will indeed say you sent me .. oh, wait, I'd need to be there .. someday
Beautiful street art and artist.
Costas
These street artists are very talented. I'm taking my notes...next time in Paris! ;)

I love the prints sold on the Paris streets. Apart from the little 5x7's I acquired on my own, I have two from my in-laws' honeymoon in Paris in 1958, and two from a friend's Sorbonne days in the sixties. I'd love to visit your friend's booth someday!
Whoops - that was me above. I thought I was in Eric's comments box. :/
I remember walking along the Seine and looking at prints from various artists. I brought several back and had them framed.
It's hard to make a decision, there are so many to choose from.
Our next trip, assuming it happens, will start in Paris at the end of August. We've never been in August, it will be interesting to see if it really is as dead as everyone claims.
Your shot has gorgeous light, long shadows on the building in the background, reflections on the windows... lovely setting and photo.
It all looks very tempting indeed. I'll bet you got a discount for buying "in bulk," V! :~}
Lovely photo...I love open air markets like this!
By the way love your new banner!!
I like the ambience of this shot, Virginia.
I agree with Genie, the setting and photo are fantastic
about the work of the artist, will judge if and after I have found him

Starman, it's dead alright, but in a nice way I think. I was only there for a day or two. Now getting a resto that's open might be another story!
Alexa, Didier "claimed" I got a discount but I probably did not. That said, I am still very happy with my prints.
