Parc de Monceau - l'aire de jeu

Parc de Monceau

There are several play areas in Parc de Monceau 

with plenty of room for running.  

If you listen carefully, 

you can almost hear the squeals of laughter and shrieks of the chase.

bon weekend

Le Huitième - une brasserie

Le Huitième

This brasserie is memorable on my usual walk up 

Boulevard de Courcelles from Parc de Monceau.  

The café chairs in Paris come in every color in the rainbow 

and in many styles and designs.  

You do not see many of the orange shades, 

but the view across the wide boulevard 

is that of bright orange window awnings.

It appears that there would be plenty of room 

on this glassed in terrace for all of us.

allons-y!

La Petite Rose - salon de thé

La Petite Rose

This is one of my favorite lunch spots, 

just a short walk from Parc de Monceau.  

Gorgeous salads and delicious quiches

Well, selecting a dessert is a challenge!

Like so many bumble-bees all in a swarm,

La Petite Rose

Days of wine and roses? 

Well, actually, it was a bottle of water and a single rose,

but the lighting in the salon de thé was enchanting.

Carrousel Jules-Verne -- Parc de Monceau

This little carrousel is new to Parc de Monceau since my visit last April.  It is called Carrousel Jules Verne and looks like a slice of the 19th century with its submarine, camel, and camion de pompiers.  The setting in this park is perfect, enjoyed by children in neighborhood and by this wandering photographer.

You know that I love to find carrousels and what a treat to see this one where there had been none.  Please note that the rotation is counterclockwise.

Carrousel XIII - Place Prosper Goubaux

This previously unnamed (by me) carrousel was closed for repairs in April.  I arrived there to capture a warm weather scene of riders, but found it covered.  The workmen said "non" when I asked to photograph inside, but at least I found the name for this merry-go-round, "Les Anges Volants."  Oh, I will show you the forbidden photos another time.

If you have been reading my blog for a time, you know how I seek out carousels.  I am linking today to Alexa's The Road is Mine as she has a fabulous carousel which has an amazing story of rescue and restoration.

Marie and I came across this scene in April at Parc de Monceau. I am not sure that I understood what was going on here but...

Hey, save some for me!
