If you travel to Paris, of course you must visit the Palais Royal. It is no secret that it has become one of my most favorite spots in the whole city. Since my second visit in 2008, it's always on my To Do List. I love the gardens for photographs and people watching, but the exquisite shops all along the arcade are just a delight. Go, you'll thank me for this tip.

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.

You are so right about this place. It's a photographers dream.
If this window display is anything to go it looks like quite a quirky place V. My list is growing.
Love this glove and the old sewing machine. Great tip.
What a fabulous window! I would have loved seeing that one in person!
Love the old Singer machines; they were just the very best. My grandmother sewed on a Singer in the early 20th Century. I still have an old Singer portable I purchased many moons ago in storage, and I'll bet I could get it out, plug it in and it would still sew perfectly. As Andrey might say, the Palais Royal might always be a good idea!
Nice!
Take Virginia's advice! (I first visited the Palais Royal almost 50 years ago and it still feels special.)
That's quite a window!
Bonjour,
Tu as tout à fait raison... cet endroit est magnifique...
Gros bisous ♡
