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.

Not "francophile", but "parisien"..not the same! :o)
Proof positive that we should look up now and then!
Beautiful photo! I'll venture a guess of the Pantheon since it has many columns.
Don't ask me!!! But I do like this shot!!! Nice detail!!!
The Pantheon was my guess also.
:)
I don't know but I would venture "La Madeleine"? They really are magnificent!
I'm guessing that this is not McDonalds. (Nice image.)
Although la Madeleine was an excellent guess, I couldn't stump you. The Pantheon it is.

PS And Jack, you're right about it not being McDo's!
This brings M. Escher to mind...
God bless you!

I have no idea where they are, but splendid!
I guessed the Pantheon too. I actually stared up at the roof of this porch for quite some time, it has amazing relief sculptures!
