The Jardin des Plantes is a lovely spot to spend the day. The shady allées, the well tended gardens and in addition there is a dear little carrousel and zoo for the children.

Paris je t'aime
I fell in love with Paris in March 2007. It was as the French say, le coup de foudre : love at first sight. As a result of that trip, my photography took another direction. Since that time I have pursued a career of sorts in photography and dreamed of returning to the City of Light. November 2008 found me strolling the streets of Paris once again. My first visit I was so overwhelmed with the incredible beauty of the city, I photographed it as a "tourist". In 2008 I returned and I looked at the city with more of a photographer's eye. I wanted to capture the unique, the small details, and oh yes - the people! This blog was started as a photo diary of that trip, but I have been most fortunate to return to the city j'adore 15 times since. Each time I leave, I wipe a tear and start planning my list for the next trip. Paris may well be a moveable feast, but I think it's best savored in person! Someone told me that once you have been to Paris, you will leave a piece of your heart. I left mine right there, but I brought home some wonderful memories. It is my pleasure to share them with you.

Ah.. lovely - I never got here but will love to go one day. x
I'm longing for that grass more than anything! After such a wet summer, our winter has been incredibly dry. There's not much grass to be found resembling this lush lot.
It's a romantic composition, I'm enchanted by the flowers!
Wonderful picture!

Delightful image Virginia, sounds like a wonderful place to while away some time!
Sounds like a lovely spot for the Hagen Family to visit... gorgeous flowers!
Bravo, V!
Ooooh .... Love the lush flowers and thick carpet of grass. Ready to stroll through there with you ... Even in August, I am sure it is cooler there than here!
Lovely .. so spring-like, so verdant
Oh my this is a beautiful shot. I need to go trim the garden at our little museum today (gardener has a broken leg). You have inspired me!
Lovely, lovely, lovely....this photo is just what I needed today.
I thought the best part of Jardin des Plantes was the Museum d'Histoire Naturelle. They even had a T-Rex!!
Starman, absolument! It is an amazing place!!!

Oh, what fun we had with Mary and Marie as we snapped like paparazzi through this garden... These blooms are gorgeous! Wish we were there... (how many times a day do I say/think that!)
How lovely!!
Very nice, Virginia, and I like the lush and colorful flowers. This place does not sound familiar to me, even after looking at Wikipedia. Not sure I have been there.
A truly beautiful camera moment. That is idyllic.
Lovely!!!!
