Parc Montsouris - Les Enfants et le grand arbre

Parc Montsouris

The height of this sturdy limb

provides an adventurous but relatively safe climb

If you are going to Paris and want to see la vie quotidienne

in Paris, visit this park on a Sunday afternoon.

Le Chalet du Parc

Enjoying the autumn sunshine on a Sunday afternoon,

there was no need for the heaters on the terrace.

Friends gathered, 

taking a break from their studies?

L'arbre hanté?

Haunted Tree?

This tree in Parc Montsouris

seemed almost alive with

its undulating surface.

I am not sure that I would have been

sitting in the same spot at monsieur here.

We hurried along before a branch reached out

and tapped him on the shoulder

«Where the Tides Ebb and Flow»

Where the Tides Ebb and Flow

by Pedro Marzorati

In the lake at Parc Montsouris the Argentine artist Pedro Marzorati

installed his 30 blue men sculptures to bring awareness of

 the worldwide rising sea level.  His project was timed to coincide with the 

United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP21) which is being held in Paris.  

This installation will be in place until mid December.

You can read more about the artist and his work here.

Parc Montsouris

Montsouris is located in the 14ème arrondissement 

at the southern edge of Paris.  

Opened in 1869 the park is one of the four large parks, 

along with the Bois de Boulogne, the Bois de Vincennes

 and the Parc  des Buttes Chaumont, created by Napoleon 

and Baron Haussmann at each of the cardinal points 

of the compass around the city.

It was filled with Parisians enjoying

a sunny clear November day.
