We had been intending to go to the new Fondation Louis Vuitton but after the Musee d’Orsay experience I went off the idea a bit.  But as it was a lovely bright sunny day on our last day so we went to the Jardin de Luxembourg instead.

The French senate is in a fancy building in one part of the gardens (complete with guards with very big guns) but the rest combines playgrounds, tennis courts, open park land and formal gardens.

We arrived to find a school sports day in progress, as well as random joggers, nannies with kiddies in the sandpit, people lapping up the sunshine, and even several people with newly uprooted plants – presumably with some sort of permission otherwise they were fairly brazen!

After a few grey days the sun and blue sky were welcome, as were the space and the people-watching opportunities👀

So the next post will be a few photos from our visit to the park.
