Paris Rouge à Nöel - Merci

Merci, located in the Marais, is one of our favorite stores. At Christmas this cute little voiture rouge is perfect.

Noël à Paris - Galerie Vivienne

For several trips we stayed in a lovely apartment owned by friends of ours in Cincinnati. It's a terrific location, just blocks from the Palais Royal and across the street from Galerie Vivienne. This beautiful passage is my favorite. At Christmas it's magical.

Paris Rouge - Noël Grand

My first Paris Christmas experience was November, 2008. I was in awe of the gorgeous tree and the enormous balls hanging from the dome. The looked like red silk. I have seen many Galeries Lafayette Christmas decorations over the years since, but this was by far my favorite.

Galeries Lafayette. 2008

I will never forget the first time I saw the amazing Christmas exterior lighting of Galeries Lafayette in 2008. I have never seen anything so magical. As the years have gone by, they have paired down the lights to save on the expense. I certainly understand, but am so grateful I was able to photograph it in all its splendor!

Les grands magasins

The view from Galeries Lafayette looking towards Printemps, two of the grands magasins. At Christmas, they are magical for children as well as the adults!

À travers les yeux d'un enfant

The Christmas windows at Printemps and Galeries Lafayette are truly magical.

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.
