I can just feel the bonk in the head I would get if I tried to go through that door. I'm counting this as Paris Rouge. Let's not get too picky about colors.
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.

A beautiful Parisienne scene. It oozes country charm even if it is in the city.
Excellent shot ... Makes you want to be there!
That's awfully sweet. The bike makes it perfect!
I love the color and the bike. I'm going to accuse you of setting up this shot! It's too French. LOL
What a beautiful shot this is!
I love everything here: colors, flowers , bike, and this little door, which has its own charm and mystery.
Mystery indeed! Wonder what this small door would have been used for Virginia? Geranium filled window boxes add such French flair.
Magnificent shot - love the door, the color & the bicycle.
Is the door for bikes, or is the owner height disadvantaged?
