Tucked away inLe village St. Paul, you'll find Cassiopée and Co. This beautiful antique store specializes in silver and crystal. The owner's pup was sound asleep and hardly lifted an eye when I took a zillion photos!
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.

Do they give a discount when the pieces are as dirty as this chair?
Un chien dans un magasin de cristal, c'est un peu comme un éléphant dans un magasin de porcelaine, ou un taureau dans un magasin de chinoiserie, non ?
Haha Alain. Je suis d'accord. :)
Alain, I think this chien was too old and sleepy to do much damage! :)
Star Man, I'm pretty sure this chair was reserved just for the pooch.
Awww, what a cute pup.
He kind of blends in with the chair. Hope no one sits on him by mistake. :~}
That's not Meeps! Taken by surprise, not your infamous chat. Love the colours of doggie and chair melding as one.
Oh V, this is just too cute. Ciao J.
Not to be too fastidious, but I'm not sitting in that chair.
I'm sure you weren't the first to photograph him! I suspect he's quite the model by now -- and for good reason!
