Isn't that a magical blue Virginia! I haven't had tea when I've been in Paris -but I've walked past a few The Salons - I'm sure they're lovely! Lovely to see you had popped in overnight!!!
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.

I like the beautiful contrast!
This blue certainly attracts people passing by's eyes!
Love this colour Blue too, I am definitely NEVER Blue in Paris. I hope to get back sometime very soon .. thanks for sharing.
This is such a charming little salon de thé and the mosaic design filling the space under the window is charming.
bon weekend, V!

That blue façade is so inviting—and this place is equally charming inside. Good shot, V --
