Dimanche à Paris

If you are lucky enough to be in Paris on a Sunday, be sure to visit the Marché aux Oiseaux et le Marché aux Fleurs on Île de la Cité. This is a special treat if you are traveling with children as the Bird Market also offers, rabbits, guinea pigs, etc. for them to pet. A lovely way to spend a Sunday in Paris.

Sunday Church Series

Just last Sunday, hard to believe it's been only a week,  I worshipped at the majestic  American Cathedral in Paris. This was my third service, and I always look forward to worshipping in this glorious cathedral. Two young members of the congregation read Scripture flawlessly, Dean Lucinda Laird gave a thought provoking message, and the choir sang a favorite of mine, "King of Love My Shepherd Is." After the service, visitors are invited the back of the sanctuary for coffee and warm greetings from staff and members. If you have not attended or visited, I urge you to do so on your next trip to Paris.

Not This Weekend

With the severe flooding in Paris this week, Parisians won't be relaxing along the quai any time soon.

Dimanche sur la Seine

This sunny Sunday morning, Mary and I walked along the Seine from our apartment. I spotted this gentleman having a very fine walk along the quai alone.

La famille

I love nothing more than spending a fine Sunday afternoon in Paris at les Jardins du Luxembourg. Everyone in Paris seems to rush to the gardens to walk, sit, read, or bring their children to run and play. Today, a special memory.

CDP Theme Day - Motion

It's no secret that the dancers on rue Mouffetard on a Sunday in Paris is the place I return to time and time again. Michel and his partner never disappoint. This Sunday, after photographing them at street level, I found them again from the second floor of our café as we all enjoyed lunch.

Île de la Cité's Bird Market is always a good idea, open only on Sundays it's part of the Marché aux Fleurs. A lovely spot to walk through!

Joie de Vivre II

Caution. I've been devouring David duChemin's marvelous book, Within The Frame, The Journey of Photographic Vision, and am feeling empowered to post this photo that I would honestly have deleted. For those of you who love travel photography, run, don't walk to Amazon.com and buy it.

Un banc de trois

Yet another reason I love photographing every inch of Paris when I visit.  What are the chances you could walk up on a scene like this ???  At first we thought perhaps this chat had come with the lady but shortly after she tried to shoo him away.  Sunday at Luxembourg Gardens never fails to delight me.

Merci le Nouveau Paris for selecting this blog among your best Paris blogs. I'm honored to be in such good company.

How delightful to be able to skate along the Seine on a Sunday morning, with la Tour Eiffel in the distance!  Paris, j'adore.
