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.

Beautiful details and I like the angle in this picture!

I have had many good experiences at the zinc bars in Paris cafés. I've used them to change film in my cameras in cold weather. For the small price of an espresso I get warm hands, a bathroom, new film in my camera, and usually a chance to practice my French. The zinc is a friendly place and people seem wiling to engage in light conversation. Roll up to the bar, order an espress or une noisette (this usually raises an eyebrow and gets you into a conversation) which is an espresso with just a little milk in it. It's a Paris experience you shouldn't miss!
I love the detail on the top edge of the bar. It gleams!
What a fascinating, wonderful place, and gorgeous photo as always!
The chairs and tables outside
Indeed! Great detail, V.
You will need to educate me about zinc bars. That is a part of Parisian life I don't know.
Maintenant, c'est plutôt dans les cafés chics ou branchés qu'on trouve ce genre de décor.
Virginia now that is just beautiful; the design of the bar the gleam!
