I think we all would love to sit there with you -- I know I would! It would be fun to see how -- with several photographers in a bench in a row -- all the photos would differ!
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.

Would love to sit there with you :). Love this B&W!
Absolutely, and I'll look forward to the photos, even if I can't sit there with you.

Love the idea of comparing the photos of several photographers taken in the same place at the same time.
I'd love to sit there with you too—and the thought that I actually could is making me very happy! :~}
And I just adore those pleached lime trees --
I always seem to be racing around trying to see everything - should sit with you!
We will all have to sit in a row :-) we all want to be there :-)
You do seem to favor the Palais Royal.
I agree. We all meet at the Palais Royal and have a grand afternoon!
It is a very photogenic locale, isn't it?
Le meilleur ami de l'homme!
God bless you!
