The thing about Paris is that – it has a lot of big, amazing gardens that you never knew could exist in this busy, busy city. I’ve passed by Jardin des Tuileries several times but I never really appreciated it until last week. It must be awesome here during the spring and especially on the summer – people can run around or chill beside the big fountain (2 big fountains actually) and soak up some sun while reading a really thick book.
I recently discovered an all-English bookstore just beside – WHSmith. It was amazing! I’ve never seen so many books in English in France (aside from the one in Shakespeare and Co) but well, this one has a coffee shop and they sell manga! I was in book heaven!
Walkin to the inside of the garden
This sandy path is a really good place to run or walk your dog. This photo was taken during the start of autumn, though – that’s why the trees were still in full bloom.
Long sandy path
One of the two fountains, as I’ve said before. Hanging out here is peaceful and revitalizing. There is also free Paris wifi and lots of ducks. I’m not sure if you can feed them, but maybe. Also – I noticed that pigeons here are not scared of me.
A place to chill
Yes you can sit and lay down on the grass and just look at the clear, bright sky.
Beautiful
I posted these photos because I smell spring. The sun sets later now – around 6.30 PM – unlike before at 4.30 – ew isn’t that depressing? After a really hard snow storm last week, it looks like the weather in the next days will be good. I now understand why people in the Philippines smile a lot – the sun really has an effect on one’s mood!
