I was just about to dive into this fountain at the Palais Royal and swim laps, when I spotted the sign. Phfft!

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.

Wouldn't that be fun V. You would remember it always.
speaking of signs .. check out CLETABRAHAM on Instagram to see how he turns street signs into whimsical art
Which of course means at some point, someone did have a go at a swim in there.
Well, there's no prohibition for walking on it.
I love Paris, boy it is so sad what has happened there. It was a melting pot in the 90's I saw so many Middle Eastern and African's there. Some were very rude and I was harassed walking on Place Clichy a few blocks from the Moulin Rouge.
I ran to the front of the ticket line and the Manager came out to help,
He and 3 men chased the guys in robes away. Took a cab back.
Wade, maybe. Swim? That might be tough. :~}
