Le pique-nique

I can't imagine a lovelier place to picnic, with this amazing backdrop.

Soon, very soon!

 Merci, Galeries Lafayette for  your fabulous rooftop. We can't wait to visit again, next week!

Playing in Paris - La Tour Eiffel, Mumsie!

I don't know if there are sweeter memories of Paris than this day when Eva and Davis visited la Tour Eiffel for the first time. We had a lovely picnic close by and then we discovered this little playground. 

Musée With A View

From my visit in January, 2010, the view from the Musée d'Art Moderne. It has a spectacular view of la Tour Eiffel.

Paris Rouge - La tour Eiffel

The hearty souls selling their art at Place du Tertre, brave even the cold temps in January!

Joyeux Quatorze Juillet !

Vive la France!

Pique-nique à la Tour Eiffel

A special memory I'll never forget.

Les détails

I think we always look at her from afar, but I love to zoom in on her details.

La Vue

A little quiz for my very sharp blog readers. Where was this taken?
Update: We had one reader who was close. Indeed this is close to Trocadero, but actually it was taken from Cité d'Architecture et du Patrimoine

Le hommage....

pour la Tour Eiffel.

I never, ever cease to draw a breath when I look up!

Wonky

I learned a long time ago from my friend Eric Tenin, that giving Paris' landmarks a different slant was a good thing!.

View From the Quai

Last November, Peter and I enrolled in Meredith Mullins' street photography workshop at the Mona Bismarck American Center.  After a great discussion with our group, Meredith sent us out to the streets to do our assignments. I wandered down on the quai and was able to photograph some of the boats tied up there for the first time. On my way up, I loved this shot of people in silhouette on the pedestrian bridge with la Tour Eiffel in the background.

One Of Paris' Best Kept Secrets

The commanding views of la Tour Eiffel from la Cité de l'Architecture et du Partrimoine stopped us in our tracks.  Well worth the price of admission (8 euros). This is, in my opinion, one of Paris' best museums and might just need to go back on my list again.

Examiner attentivement

Rarely does she take a backseat.  Taken through the window of the Mona Bismarck American Center, she seemed rather demure hidden behind the fall leaves.

Paris Rouge - Madame!

Need I say more???

Shine On!

When faced with la Tour Eiffel twinkling in the night, I feel compelled to take as many tourist shots and I possibly can. 

Pique-nique à Paris I

This day, there were swarms of Parisian schoolchildren running amok.  I've certainly been on far worse field trips in my day!
