Frederic Chopin's grave at Père Lachaise is lovely in its own right but this red rose left as a tribute made it even more beautiful. I hope my pianist friend Michael Dulin will be happy now that I've paid my respects!

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.

The red rose is fitting. He was a very romantic soul. {Thumbs up from me too, dear V. I love playing Chopin most of all. Shhhh, don't tell the others.}
Un très bel hommage effectivement que la présence de cette rose rouge... Mais la photo et l'oeil de l'artiste apporte une note encore plus belle...
gros bisous
Yes the red rose is a beautiful valentine to Chopin....
A poetic image! :)

One of the most romantic spots in Pere Lachaise. Don't think I've ever been there that there wasn't a rose, usually just one. (And he has a nice view across the path and down the hill, if I recall rightly.)
nice one!

I saw you found Mr Walter Bechkman ! Perfect also..great photographer

A fabulous composer and nice contrast in the photo. Here’s my Dreaming of France meme
Perfect with that exquisite red rose .... Chopin was quite handsome.
