Boy you do get around. I hope you got to see the inside of her place. Too bad this American can't live in such splendor. She had her tub installed so that she could sit in it and admire the view of the Eiffel Tower across the river.
Stuart, The inside is beautiful. Gorgeous staircase. Peter, Genie and I saw the Yusuf Karsh exhibit there in November. It was magnificent. I"m sorry you missed it. V
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.

The dappled light accentuates this architecture beautifully V.
And you capture them so beautifully.

My darn job sure did make me miss a lot of good stuff! The light makes this especially beautiful, V—
A lovely carving there.
Oh I didn't miss the Karsh exhibit! Not many photo exhibitions get past me here.
They are exquisite & your photos show their classic quality.
This face is so delicately formed. Lovely.
