"I write with light
and the light of Paris
helped me express what I felt
and what I feel: J’aime Paris"

Rentrée and the First Signs of Fall
9.09.2015
• FamilyLasting ImpressionsLight
School is back in session... and so we return to the jolting rhythm of schedules and routine. The shift is sudden and surprising, even if it happens every year, my family never seems to get used to it.
There is alas a season for all things, and now we rise before the sun and have breakfast with the dim glow of dawn. The boys have readied their desks for homework and reading, and my eldest is already having to memorize poems from Jean de La Fontaine...
The light and temperatures have also signaled a change, Fall is certainly making its way into the landscape. Are you ready?

Montmartroise Light & Paris Rooftops

• Around ParisLasting ImpressionsLight
The other morning I headed to Montmartre to run an errand near the Sacré-Coeur Basilica. After descending the bus at Pigalle and making my way up the hill, I turned and became mesmerized by the streaming sunlight luminous over the rambling rooftops of Paris. I started walking to follow it, to try and take it all in, turning only to have it sweep me from the shadows into another veil of golden light... one street after another, up and down the hills, turning onto hidden corners of dappled light and finally getting lost within the cobblestoned maze of Montmartre...
There are so many must-do's on a visitor's list, and I'd have to add (or reiterate) this one if I may - a morning in Montmartre as a light seeker. To me, this is the Paris that consumes your very core and stays with you forever and ever, pour toujours et à jamais...

• Lasting ImpressionsLight
Some Paris mornings draw you into their slow sleepy entrance into the day... like a lantern's flame, the sky's shifting shades gently wakes and illuminates the city in the most subtle fiery light.
