And they also seem to know just where to pose. When we visited the Musée Montmartre Chat Noir exhibit there was a beautiful black cat posing in the courtyard.
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.

Le Chat looks very comfy. I doubt he would move for anyone.

I love the green harmony here.
Whenever I saw a cat in France, I always felt it was there just for me! You're right -- they are divine posers -- and this is a wonderful image.
The cat makes the photo, but the colors, the shutters, the building, those are so French.
Love!!
Ce chat looks just as much at home as you did in yesterday's photo (and I'll bet you were purring too). :~}
Yes, I too like the house
Yep, that's definitely a cat.
Awww, adorable.
Indeed, French cats know how to pose. It doesn't hurt that they have such lovely settings. I took a similar photo at Versailles.
Wonderful composition! The building has such beautiful detail, and there is the cat who allows it to be!
Nice capture. I love the colour of the door and window frames.
I agree with Paulita, the cat makes the photo, beautiful composition!
