Jour de pluie à Paris

 Luckily showers in Paris don't last long, and like this day, the sun comes out!

Meilleur prix?

Faire aux Antiquaires, Saint-Sulpice.

La dame en noir

Rue Mouffetard never disappoints.

Marie Mercie

Parisian milliner Marie Mercié's window is always a delight. Maybe I'll step inside one day!

Paris rouge, rouge, et plus rouge

 Where, you ask? Cité de l'architecture et du Patrimoine. This museum is one of the best kept secrets in Paris. I love it.

The waiter and the chef. Waiting for patrons.

Paris Jaune

Parking bumper to bumper is a challenge. I call it the "French Kiss".

City Daily Photo Theme Day - CHANGE

I love that whenever I return to Paris, I can count on its cobblestoned streets and charming buildings and cafés, being just like I left them. On the other hand, the city of Paris took a bold and necessary step a few years ago when they began removing the once romantic, turned horrific nuisance LOVE LOCKS from the Paris bridges. The sheer weight was causing structural damage not to mention the thousands of locks blocked the view of the Seine. The Pont des Arts was relieved of over 700,000 locks weighing over 93 metric tons! In order to prevent new locks, thick acrylic panels were installed. I share before and after shots. Change is good.

Today I join City Daily Photobloggers around the world as we all post our take on this month's theme. Have a look HERE.

C'est Paris

I never tire of looking up and seeing this.

L'escalier

With my knees, these stairs, although lovely, are another reason I can't move to Paris. Le sigh...

Déjeuner à le Rubis

This is small café offers only two plats at lunch. Nothing fancy. I love the zinc bar as well.

Paris Rouge - Pizza et Pâtes

OK the cute paper curtains caught my eye. Maybe next trip, we'll have dinner here!

Automne à Paris

Since 2013, I"ve traveled to Paris in November. It's a wonderful time to go. You get the glorious fall color AND Christmas decorations all over the city. A photographer's delight.

Le garçon à la fenêtre

He didn't seem a bit bothered by the two crazy Americans with big cameras taking his photo!

Mon reflet

Avenue Beaumarchais, 75003, is filled with camera shops. J'adore!

Golden Hour, Golden Leaves

I have been fortunate to visit Paris in January, May, June, July, and November. For the last 4 years , I've traveled in November as it's easier for my standby flight status. I think it's a glorious time to travel. The first weeks in November is low tourists season so it's less crowded and rates are lower, which I love. In addition, you get glorious fall color and around November 12, the city is decked out for Christmas! It's the best of two seasons for photographers. 

Automne à Pairs

Autumn in Paris is my favorite season. 

Le vélo

Exploring courtyards reveals little treasures.

Afternoon Light

Always check their calendar of events and exhibits before your travel to Paris. It's a treasure!

I Love Paris in the Fall

Now that autumn is around the corner, I"m looking forward to seeing Paris at my favorite time of the year,  November. The golden yellow and orange leaves are glorious.

Quelle heure est-il?

Galerie Vivienne

Toits de Paris

Waiting impatiently for the sunset to sett from the roof of Galeries Lafayette. I love getting a bird's eye view of Paris. 

So Many Books...

 so little time when shopping at Shakespeare and Company

Le fumeur

Another reason to always look up!

Begs the question...

How did the owner get the box up there and how do they ever water it???

Repetto, je t'aime

Lèche-vitrine, bien sûr!

La nuit dernière à Pais

The last day/night in Paris, I find myself in overdrive, trying to squeeze every single image i can shoot to capture the bittersweet moments that I know are ticking away.

Charmant

Today we return to the Musées de Sens. Looking out the window, I found this delightful garden.

City Daily Photo Theme Day - TEACH

It seems wherever we go in Paris, we find groups of students ton field trips around the city. It must be marvelous to have the unlimited cultural opportunities that Paris offers! This lucky class was touring one of my very favorite museums, Cité de l'Architecture et du Patrimoine. If you have not discovered this jewel, put it on your list for your next trip.
