The city inside our minds

Paris can be seen in many ways. One of the most visited cities in the world with over 30 millon visitors per years makes it a subject itself. Paris is a place, a person a dream… Paris is everything you imagined before coming for the first time but also is nothing of what you expected from it (her) …  We all have a Paris in our minds, either we’ve been here one, two or many times or either we dream of going someday.

The discovery of the city for me has been gradual. Since arriving from the very first time in summer, amused by the blue skies covering the picture perfect gardens of Louvre, strolling around and being amazed by every detail of reality that mixed with the imaginary Paris I had in my mind.

From being a tourist in the city of lights to become one of the souls inhabiting its streets and seeing it (her) day and night under its thousands shades of gray and sometimes under the blue skies. Living in this city is a gift to be shared. Here are some images from one magical white night in the City of Lights!
