Built in the early 1600’s around the beautiful Luxembourg Palace, the Luxembourg Gardens cover 57 precisely manicured acres. It feels more like a park than gardens and it’s an amazing place. The day we were there it was very warm and very crowded. I think the mini-bus driver who took us out to Giverny explained it very well. He said that their homes are very expensive and therefore very small. Lots of the homes in those big, gorgeous buildings are only studios. So if people want to get together, they can’t have friends over, they have to go out. They go to bars, they go to restaurants, and they go to their beautiful parks. Paris has had a real cold and rainy spell lately and these days we’ve been in Paris, the weather has been beautiful. So everybody is taking advantage of the wonderful spring weather to be outside – – Parisians love their parks.
Seems the people love to congregate outdoors. They all look so happy.
