BTW, V—the reason you might not have recognized this spot may be because they mounted lights on those pipes on the side of the church, but there aren't normally lights there.
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.

VERY AWESOME
The shimmer of rain on granite steps evoke memories of cosy fires and warm conversations.
One of my fav movies Virginia, I'd recognise those steps anywhere :)
I've wondered where that scene was shot for longer than I can say. I should have just asked you!
Jeannie,
When I saw the movie I couldn't place it myself. It took another visit to Parisi and someone pointing it out to me!
Love the angle—and though I wasn't there I can still picture you taking this shot, V. :~}
Wonderful mood in the shot, Virginia! Beautiful!

Nice one!
Great B & W reflection. Have a lovely weekend.
Lovely shot, I really like how the stone shimmers in the wet
