Automne à Paris

Really hard to beat a late Sunday afternoon at Jardin du Luxembourg, looking towards le Sénat.

Àprés-midi à Jardins du Luxembourg

Sunday is my favorite day, sure you get a lot of tourists, but you also get Parisians who flock there to enjoy the day in this beautiful place. Older couples nicely dressed making their way slowly, parents with children, toting bikes, trikes and scooters, and young couples publicly sharing their affections. Off the beaten paths, you will find chess and card players, pétanque games, as well as the favorite Parisian pastime of just sitting quietly and reading.

Mignon!

Sunday at the Jardin du Luxembourg is always on my list. Parisians of all ages flock there. The parents with their young children are always a favorite of mine. This precious girl with her Poppa were such fun to photograph.

Automne à Paris - Fontaine Medicis

As many of you know, I've traveled to Paris in January for the last four years. It's easier for me to travel at that time but I have longed to see Paris in another season. This November trip, I found her in all her autumn splendor.  I'll be sharing some favorites for the next week or so. Today, a late afternoon stroll through the Jardin du Luxembourg, and the leaves falling around the Medici Fountain, made it even more beautiful.
