Spotted on the Pont des Arts, these petits garçons didn't seem to know what to think about all these locks of love!

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.

L'amour, cela devrait être la liberté, non ?
Perhaps they will return one day.
I wonder if ours is still there. It's such a lovely memory -- I'm delighted watching how captivated they are!
Bet that the young lad on the right was trying to remove one or two. It is an interesting but now quite tiresome fad.
Give them 10/15 years and they'll be back with their sweethearts and their own locks :)
Sweet photo...They're just at child level, great for little hands to play with! I know there's a controversy around these locks, but they do seem to be a powerful tradition...
There's a habit of doing that here on one of our pedestrian bridges. Not sure what to make of it...
I was thinking the same as Kate. As for the little one, he doesn't have a clue!
Yes I'm sure they'll be back with sweethearts of their own one day. :)
Great capture, Virginia!
:)
