At the beautiful Jardin des Plantes. As much as I love Luxembourg and Tuileries, this is the place to come, especially if you're visiting Paris with 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.

Planting time is such a wonderful time of the year. Filled with such promise.
"Visiting Paris with children"....What a horrifying thought!
Brouette neuve et vieux panier.
Bonjour chère amie,
Le printemps s'installe peu à peu... J'aime beaucoup cette photo.
Gros bisous
Made it to the Jardin des Plantes after spending the morning with Roniece on rue Mouffetard...missed you soooo much!
xx,
M
totally agree......... and it's a special treat for friends from abroad with gardens of their own - there's ALWAYS something they didn't know or have never seen - AND there are joyful places and areas for children to fool about - lovely benches for readers, food kiosks..... :)
I agree. My kids even climbed some trees there and didn't get yelled at -- granted, they were the only kids climbing trees.
Kids in Paris?
My eyes get drawn to the shape of that window...
This makes me yearn to put on a sun hat and garden gloves. So lovely.
A colleague is taking her kids to Paris soon; thanks for the reminder to tell her to go here. Meanwhile—wow! That gorgeous yellow wall, especially with the little red window—I love this picture, V!
We lived right down the street from here until my daughter was 4 and my son was one. It's where my daughter rode her tricycle for the first time and my son played in the sand for the first time!! Thanks for this!!
We were a bit too early when we visited for a big display but the peonies were a most welcome sight -- all the more so, had it not been raining. It's definitely on the "return" list!
