As much as I love the signs and the fast and efficient Paris Métro, my knees detest the endless steps, the steps, the steps. This last trip, Mary and I pretty much figured out the Paris bus system and I was very grateful.

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.

I take it the Metro doesn't have elevators.
I've always preferred taking the buses. Especially if one is on vacation-there is very little that you have to be on time for. I've also taken buses from one end to the other to see the real citizens of the city and the area beyond the tourist areas. A cheap day of tourism.
On my last trip I never took the subway! Walked a lot and took buses...For me, the perfumes are difficult...Congratulations on your book! I will look for it!!
I seem to remember escalators, but maybe I'm thinking of London. I do remember taking a bus to Père Lachaise. It's slower than the Metro, but nice to watch the city go by as you ride.
