I have visited many churches in Paris over and over and never fail to find very special details that I'd overlooked before. I loved the light hitting this lovely statue.

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.

The lighting does make it stand out!
A 'saintly' image Virginia.. the lighting is perfect.
Les gamins, c'est vraiment casse pieds quand on a envie de bouquiner tranquillement.
There is so much to see in this church! I'm sure I saw this statue but have no recollection of it, so many thanks for the photo!!! As you say, beautiful lighting.
It's nice to see an informal and touching scene like this in stone. Most are so formal and posed. I like those shadows too.
Not only do you have the eye to spot the shot, but you have the skills to capture it. Brava, V!
Exquisite, Virginia!
St. Etienne du Mont is «Louis'» favorite church in Paris. That rood screen there is fabulous. You probably know that it is the only surviving rood screen in Paris.
a really art series!!!
Yes, you did have good light here.
Hi V ... you have cajoled the light to behave perfectly in this shot. Ciao J.
It's a beautifully composed shot, Virginia.
