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.

ein interessantes bild!!! liebe grüße von angie
You know, I don't think I've ever tasted roasted chestnuts.
my mom loved roasted chestnuts .. thanks for the memory jog and the lovely photo
and yet probably just as delicious as any ever roasted over an open fire in a French chateau. Good one, V!
Not very chic, but it seems to work. Like Revrunner, I've never had them, but there's a guy here downtown who has a food cart and roasts them in the fall and winter.
I love them! Crepes and roasted chestnuts used to be my favorite "street food".
I remember it well, also those candied hot peanuts. Never have enough time there.
