I love Montmartre but the steps take a little of the fun out of it!

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.

Il faut prendre le funiculaire...
Indeed!
«Louis» has taken those steps both directions.
It takes the wind out of him just thinking about it!
I remember those damn steps... you make them look much better than they are!
But those steps make a great photo!
Without the steps, it wouldn't be Montmartre.
I agree with you since my left knee decided to live its own life..But it's also true that Montmartre without steps would not be Montmartre..
Beautiful photo, Virginia. I always have trouble with steep hills; it is hard to convey the steepness. You shot straight ahead, and didn't tilt your camera upward, and that works. I can hardly wait for my next hill to see if I can make this approach work.
j'adore cette photo, elle est superbe en noir et blanc!
I know what you mean . I have done the steps a few times but they do make you puff :-)
If one walks both up AND down those steps, then one can have an extra "pan au chocolat," non?
Salut V de B!
cette photo est très belle!
