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.

What a lovely candelabra. Nice to see real candles being used and not electric ones.
There seems to be a few candles missing.
Beautiful phoo of a beautiful church!
C'est un très joli candélabre...
gros bisous
This photo has such and hope within.
I'm just blown away by the beauty to be seen in every little detail of this (and every) church in Paris. You document it all so well, V!
I love the tiny little candles here. I haven't visited this church so I'll put it on my list.
La "pique" centrale doit attendre encore le pieux visiteur assez fortuné pour y planter un cierge de grande format.
