Pour le jardinier

 There is a sweet little playground adjacent to the Église Saint-Germain-des-Prés. I think this charming little hut belongs to the gardener.

Un endroit heureux

On this November day, things were pretty quiet. On the weekends it's teeming with happy kiddos. 

Jardin du Luxembourg

Été au Bois

If you've never visited Paris with children then more than likely you have never experienced le Jardin d'Acclimatation! Located in the Bois de Bologne, it's a delightful place to spend the day with les enfants. It combines a charming little amusement park, boat rides, gardens, petting zoo and a playground with many activities for all ages. This climbing structure looked like la Tour Eiffel to us. Try and calculate how high it goes. The French have a more lenient approach to playgrounds!

Playing in Paris - La Tour Eiffel, Mumsie!

I don't know if there are sweeter memories of Paris than this day when Eva and Davis visited la Tour Eiffel for the first time. We had a lovely picnic close by and then we discovered this little playground. 

Avant et après V

15 novembre the sun came out again in Paris, in many ways. As we headed to rue Mouffetard to watch the locals dance I stopped as we reached the Église Saint-Médard's little playground. I'm guessing this spunky jeune fille was showing either her brother or a friend how to climb a tree! As we turned the corner, Mouffetard and the surrounding area's cafés were bustling with Parisians anxious to resume life in Paris. Vive la France!

Jouer à Paris

With the lovely Musée de Cluny in the background. When visiting their website I read they have programming for parents and their young children. This day it was raining. I would love to return and see les enfants enjoying this colorful play yard.
