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

There is a serene and calmmess in this place !
What a beautiful looking spot.
And another perfect spot!! You do have a great list of them, Genie!! I'd love to visit them all!!
A lovely place to sit and enjoy a mild afternoon!
The color of the chairs and fence blend nicely with the surrounding stone color and pebbles of the path. Also like the composition. Well done.
This is one of my favourite places in Paris!
This is definitely an ahhhhhhh spot! I have such a great photo of you in one of these chairs :)
What I really love about this fountain, aside from its peaceful surroundings, is the optical illusion of the water in the fountain slanting uphill. Strangely, it is hardly ever mentioned in guide books and I have even found a few people who just don't see it but it is so obvious that it actually disoriented me the first time I saw the fountain.
I love this garden and its beautiful fountain. It is one of my favorite places as well.
We all need quiet spots every now and then, but I usually opt for busier places where I can watch the girls. Excuse me. Watch the people.
what beautiful looking spot. i wish i could go there.
A serenely beautiful scene. You can hear the hush in reverence for the beauty.
Every visit to Paris I pick up something tasty at Gerard Mulot, walk to the Medici Fountain and have a nice quiet lunch. Parfait.
Beretboy, I will look for you there with the Gerard Mulot sack or box... be sure to bring enough to share.
Betty, you would love this in any season.
Jack, there are plenty here, there, and everywhere in Paris!
Shirley, there is not a "quiet" sign, but one would think so. The rest of this very large park may be noisy, but not here.
Bises,
Genie
j'adore le jardin du Luxembourg,j'y ai passé des heures entières, j'allais à la faculté juste à côté et j'habitais deux rues plus loin!
Merveilleux souvenirs pour moi! Merci.
This looks so gorgeous. I think I could sit at one of the tables and read or sketch for hours.
