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.

Très amusant !... j'arrive alors!
Gros bisous
I think happiness should always be in the plural V.
C'est peut-être "happy" mais cela reste assez "expensive".
I guess they specialize in vin rouge !
I'll drink to that! Lovely!
And I know that finding rouge in Paris also makes you happy . . . Cheers, m'dear!
Actually, since it extends from 5 until 8h30, hours is more correct.
Go on Youtube and search for "happy we are from Paris" and I guarantee that you will be very happy.
Jack, I found this and it did make me HAPPY! Maybe if I get back to paris, I"ll try this!

Plenty of time in there to enjoy a drink!
J'adore ce rouge, couleur très rare dans la rue et surtout pour une boutique, seul les restaurant peuvent oser !
Merveilleuse photo!
