Jardin de l'Intendant



Jardin de l'Intendant

On the southwest corner of Hôtel des Invalides 
you will find this verdant sculpted garden, 
a quiet place to enjoy the greenness of spring in Paris.

Jardin de l'Intendant II


Jardin de l'Intendant


On the secluded southwest corner of the grounds of Hôtel des Invalides 
is this quiet topiary garden walled off from the Avenue de Tourville.  
It is far away from the entrances to les Invalides and the tourists.  


In my many visits here I have seen 
families, lovers, readers, walkers, 
and not infrequently a single person 
enjoying the benches and solitude.

Les Invalides - Jardin de l'Intendant



The Jardin de l'Intendant is a sculptured garden on the grounds of Les Invalides.  It sits off to the west side from which there is no exit and is usually very quiet and empty.  I have a short memory and have at least twice tried to leave the grounds in this direction only to turn around.  The photos void of people have been my reward both times in two different seasons.  The summer flowers had not yet been planted but the beds were ready.  If you are in this area it would be a delightful place of repose and quiet, worth a visit.
