I am thinking most of my readers, even my Parisian readers, won't know where I took this photo.Actually, now that I have a look at the only two photos is snapped this day, I wish I had taken more and framed them differently. Love the arches and the detail. I will let my commenters have a guess today, then I will share the location.

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.

Is it the arches bordering the Louvre V?
Rue de Rivoli?
That's my guess.
OJ
the lamps look like those in the passage between the Palais-Royal its the gardens
I'm also guessing the Louvre...but I have no idea what the Louvre 5 is...say more about that Joe!
I don't have a clue but love how the French pay such close attention to detail in their architectural designs.
Wherever it is, it's beautiful!
Place des Voges? And I know I'm so wrong but no one else had listed it yet.
I wondered Place des Voges too?
Good one, V. I'll say what I'm pretty much 100% positive it is NOT: Place des Vosges, Palais Royal, rue de Rivoli or the arcades leading to the Louvre. That said, I can't think where you are here. (I'll feel a lot better if it turns out to be somewhere I've never been.)
To me, the 'where' is not as important as the 'what.' I love the repetition of the black and white arches and the domed ceilings. Nice detail.
I really don't know!
Ahh, my friend Joe might just be the winner. He guessed the Louvre V. I will admit right here I had no idea that was the name. I entered the Louvre from the bridge and passed through this fabulous archway on my way to Tuileries. Joe, you get the prize. Thank you all for your great guesses. We all learn from each other about our Paris!
I didn't have a clue but now I know :)
Great shot.
Hi V. .. Gosh I thought it look familiar but I didn't think for a moment I would be right. Thanks for the challenge V Bon Vivant to you.
That was a fun game!
