Jardin du Luxembourg - La Fontaine Médicis

The Medici Fountain

Jardin du Luxembourg

This quiet space is found just east of the Sénat 

with the closest garden entrance at Place P. Claudel.  

The garlands of ivy on the long sides of the pool 

provide a respite from the otherwise crowded garden.  

Even when all of these chairs are filled, 

there is a hush and reverence, 

perhaps a tacit understanding by those who come here.  

It is one of my favorite quiet places in Paris

bon weekend

Jardin des Tuileries -- Vert

Green folliage, green chairs, green bottles...

Love the ambiance of this park scene in Jardin des Tuileries: two friends and color coordination all around

Cold and lonely

In Jardin des Tuileries, we found this group of chairs and made a few observations... It appeared as if a group had recently gathered here amidst the snow. Had they shared a frigid picnic of sorts or an apéritif de la neige? There are two other interesting details. See if you can find them.


In the background is the statue known as L'Ami de Personne
On the back of one chair is a pair of eyes
