Guess Where We Went Today? - Jardin d'Acclimatation



Davis found many motorcycle rides to enjoy!

We found a way to beat the crowds today. For those of you traveling to Paris with children this is the primo place to go. Forget Euro Disney, Jardin d'Acclimation is a 49 acre park in the northern part of the Bois de Boulogne. There is a delightful small train ride through the park, a house of mirrors, zoo animals, junior sized rides and we ended our day with a lovely boat ride down a mill stirred lagoon. Besides that, the gardens there are spectacular. We particularly loved the vegetable and herb garden. Check their link for all the other activities offered from trampolines, to miniature golf. We did all we could do, trust me!

Our friends from Birmingham joined us today so we had a grand day together. Did I mention how tired I am tonight????

I apologize if this post is rather long, but we have many family members and friends that want to see what we do everyday.

This delightful mural is tucked away in the gardens. All through the park there are signs featuring similar drawings. Their marketing director needs to find a way to sell these as prints. They could make some Euros.



The Eiffel Tower shaped climbing "thing".
( Notice how high you can climb. This country must not be lawsuit happy! HA)

All over Paris in every garden we've visited, we've seen groups of adults/children enjoying a picnic just like this one.

In the gardens


This was one ride all the adults enjoyed as much as the kiddos.

The perfect ending to our day here.
