The Luxembourg Gardens is located on the edge of one of my favorite Paris neighborhoods- St. Germain-des-Pres. When the day is as sunny and warm as this one, I am always drawn to this sprawling, sculpted, and serene park. Sadly, I usually feel frustrated when I try to photograph these grounds. It just feels like too much space, with immense trees and hidden sculptures sprinkled around every corner, to capture with my camera. Here are today’s efforts.
The Gardens are surrounded by this regal gate, which I love.
Dahlias, dahlings!
This was taken from my picnic spot overlooking the Senate, one of France’s two houses of Parliament.
One more time, because I love the sky in this one!
Even with all these pictures, I didn’t show you the ponies, the pond, the carousel, the puppet theater, the playgrounds, the museum, and lots of other wonderful parts of the park. Shall we return for those another day?
