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.

This is parfait as it is - no need for a Parisian with a beret! Warm regards
C'est une espèce en voie de disparition. Le dernier que j'ai vu, c'était en 2008
A great deal of romantic old Paris has disappeared but I think Place du Tertre will be there forever. It has two characters, one for winter and one for summer. In summer the cafés around the edge of the square set up tables in the square displacing most of the artists to the outer edges. In winter the square is full of artists. Some are quite good and others not so good but it is fun to watch them work. I try to stay away on the weekend because it is so crowded. Lovely choice for today's blog Virginia!
My first view was coming up the back stairs. It was such a breathtaking view. I was lucky
enough to have a Paris Gentleman tell me to see it from the
back steps.

I remember this exact sight Virginia, can't wait to see it again..
You're right! You must have been early before the crowds hit!
a beret—and a baguette. :~} I love the way you composed this shot, V!
Virginia...I absolutely love your camera angle...very unique way to photograph this famous site. Did you ever look at the shot I posted on my blog taken from behind the clock in the Musee d'Orsey last spring?
Martha
Like alll the others, I like the angle of this photo.
You're right, this is the quintessential Paris photo. Your new background photo at the top of of your blog is gorgeous. Love it.
Keep looking, Virginia. He is bound to turn the corner any moment now, with a baguette under his arm, a bottle of wine and two glasses.
Sigh!
I love those shabby shutters ..... SO French ... hope they never paint them.
Great angle! I love the white shutters.
I have been there! One day again!
