Paris is often on my mind in summer, and on my camera roll. Has a certain “je ne sais quoi”. Luckily is a city I have come to photograph often and got to know so well in the last 10 years, still can’t believe while writing this. I feel is just the beginning.
How do you say nostalgic in French?
This year I wrote about “A year in Provence”book, I’m proud of that review. I love traveling, exploring France, eating good food, in a special company. Make phones and write the story not to forget it.
Some of my days in Paris have been poetic and so, well, French. I got to show it to my parents. Spend one Christmas and one birthday there. I visited Paris in all four seasons. I spoke French, and spend hours in the Louvre, Atelier Brâncuși at Centre Pompidou or Mussé d’Orsay. As if it was yesterday, I remember the walking tour in Montmartre and later, also exploring it on my own. Or the covered passages from Opéra until Jardin du Palais Royal. Lastly, I went often for work and got to play pétanques in Jardin Du Tuileries one summer evening.
There is no shortage of things to do in Paris. I don’t feel like a tourist and I know her streets so well because, oui, for me, Paris is as a très chic elegant woman.

I’ve been thinking lately more about places and photography. I’ve been taking pictures for years. It’s a passion of mine that I love dearly, more than a hobby. Each photograph is a memory. Framing a moment in time and creating a souvenir. Remembering the past. I am delighted to share more of my favorite ones from Paris with you. In color or in black & white.
