We have King Henri IV to thank for this pretty little place, constructed in 1607. Located just off the Pont Neuf on Île de la Cité, it is a quiet little spot which I have found almost empty whenever I've walked passed.

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.

I love this square (in summer you can find there people playing pétanque) and the light in this photo.
I prefer the Square du Vert Galant. We attended a picnic there one chilly summer day.
Magnificent composition and I'm also delighted by your header! :)

A beautiful big vibrant city ..... Peppered with these wonderful little hidden gems.
"All Things French"
Lovely framing!
Why oh why did America turn out so sterile compared to Europe? The elegance of the structures got lost in translation in the 1900's and now we are left with the Trump Towers. If only I could live in the beauty of Paris.
Sounds like a great spot to get away from the tourist crowds.
I'm offering another giveaway.
I'd love for you to enter and let me know of more hidden gems.

Virginia,
It's a lovely picture to look at on this cold snowy day in Paris. I was hoping for an early spring but this picture may be as close as I get. It's a lovely square and you can always find some peace and quiet there. If you are there on a Monday morning and the weather is nice you will find an excellent artist (Didier Espagnol) painting on Pont Neuf. He is there every Monday when the weather permits.
Jeff,
I know Didier! I have talked with him several times at Place des Vosges. I have a few of his prints as well. He's a persuasive!!

This is lovely -- yet another spot close to my Parisian stomping grounds I had never discovered!
I buy a lottery ticket when the prizes get astronomical, and then I daydream about getting a flat in Paris with some of the winnings. I have always thought I would want my flat to be on the Left Bank, but maybe a top floor flat here would be nice . . .
Oooo! It looks magnificent. :)
Have enjoyed many meals at La Rose de France on Place Dauphine.
Back in the day, I had friends who lived here, and I can see their building in your photo. Yes, I'm still envious. :~}
