Along the quai

These large iron rings were used to tie river barges to the quai. I had some photography here on my last visit. 

Étudiants!

Even at the prestigious École des Beaux-Arts, the students have a sense of humor.

Le coupeur baguette

In many of the older Paris restaurants and cafés, you will find a well worn cabinet loaded with simple baskets and a coupeur baguette. I have never asked, but would love to know how many fresh baguettes they buy each day!

I Love Rock n Roll

As soon as the rain stopped, this hearty group set up in the plaza across from the Louvre and put on a show. They did a nice rendition of I Love Rock n Roll and some even sang along!

I Love This Place

I have walked past Café Mouffetard what seems like a million times over the years. I've even had a glass of wine right there a time or two as well.

Even in November, Paris blooms!

J'adore!

Be still my heart.

Joyeuse Saint-Valentin

May your day be filled with roses and champagne!

Paris Bleu

I spent a lot of time just a few blocks from le Bon Marché Rive Gauche this last trip.  A lovely entrance.

Les Philosophes

Café life. I don't think I've ever passed a Parisian café and not found someone I'd love to photograph!

Cimetière du Montparnasse

After meeting my friends from Brussels for lunch, I walked the few blocks to Cimetière
 du Montparnasse for a lovely afternoon stroll. I've visited a few times with Mary, but it was nice to have another look around. I snapped this just outside the gates.

Fermé

Le carrousel at Luxembourg Gardens was closed on this beautiful, sunny day.  They probably only open on Wednesdays when the children are out of school and on the weekends. This grown up was very disappointed.

Bébe

Babe's owners loved him very much. The tender remembrances at the Cimetière des Chiens just outside of Paris will break you heart if you are a pet owner.

Mère et fille

One of my favorite photographs. Mother and daughter enjoy a slow but very dear walk through the Jardin du Palais Royal.

This is my entry for James' Weekend Reflections right HERE!

Le baiser

There's always love in the air at le Jardin du Luxembourg.

Mary

If memory serves, Mary is checking the weather as we strike out for another jam packed, glorious day in Paris. It's a very special gift to have her join me on so many trips to Paris. We've been doing this since 2009, and I hope there are many more trips in our future. Merci mon amie.

City Daily Photo Theme Day - Loving Life

The first of the month is always Theme Day for City Daily Photobloggers all around this world. The theme this month is LOVING LIFE. I think this petite jeune fille doing what children everywhere love to do, play with a stick in the water, is a good choice. The fountain at the Palais-Royal is always a magnet for les enfants.
