This Sunday afternoon at Luxembourg Gardens, this jeune fille was holding her own in chess. I talked with her mother and father and found out she was 8 years old and her dad, a chess instructor. He seemed pleased with how she was doing with a much older opponent.

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.

This is lovely Virginia
La position de la petite fille n'est pas très réglementaire. On a l'impression qu'elle s'apprête à jouer sa reine.
It's cool that there is almost always one or more chess matches going on at this spot. You captured well the feeling of it.
I can't believe they sit outside and play chess io this weather!
Great to see the young and the not so young having a friendly chess game. Ciao J.
Great photo and a story to go with it! Charming!!!
A good capture!
We have the odd park here and there that have tables like this set out, but it'll be a good while before they're used in the spring.
Here in NYC, they play in the parks in absolutely any weather. I wonder if la jeune fille's opponent was surprised by her skills. :~}
A cute photo, Virginia. I like the little girl's posture.
Nice photo
