Welcome to French at Heart, a photography blog with few words, but many pictures of a country I love, France. All of the photographs were taken by my husband, Dean Polis, and myself, Dawne, and edited in Adobe Photoshop. If you like what you see, I would be honored if you'd leave a comment. And if you would like to learn our Digital Photography secrets, and make photographs like these yourself, [ oh, yes, you can do it!] we would be happy to lead you on an image making adventure to France with us. You may contact us here or at my email iluvfrance@wildblue.net

amoureux à Paris


young lovers


m u s é e  c a r n a v a l e t

this musée, in the Marais, was once the home of Madame de Sévigné, a friend of Louis XIV. I'm fond of this woman because of the elegance and sheer beauty of her former home, but mostly because of the tender loving letters that she wrote to her married daughter.

  7. WE JUST CROSSED each other's paths!!!!!!!! Oh Dawne, you are toooooo kind. Through the struggle of wanting to write and not having TIME to write, I WRITE what is in my heart. I figured that the only way to produce is to BE. ÊTRE.

    Nancy you know, is Ruben's beautiful and talented sister. She is special to us and she is so right about that proverb. As I grow older, I am learning that BOLDNESS and bravery are what God wants us to have to shine. What a life, n'est-ce pas?

    I HOPE YOU are well and that this weekend will bless your heart out!!!!! We have a three-day weekend, for Monday is President's Day! YOWSA!!!!!!!! I am creating today!!!

    LOVE TO YOU, Anita
