Walking Path - Le Jardin des Tuileries
Le Carrousel du Louvre
Le Jardin des Tuileries
After a 10 hour flight from LA to Paris, I arrived into the City of Light exhausted but excited. Paris never ceases to amaze me, no matter how many times I return. I love the people, the food, the chic simplicity. I love listening to French people speak even though I can only understand a few words or a simple phrase. After checking into my hotel, the
Renaissance Paris Vendome located in the First Arrondisement, I decided to take a leisurely stroll in the neighborhood. I took a short stroll along the Rue de Rivoli and admired the Carrousel from the
Jardin de Tuileries. Of course, the gardens beckoned me, so I took a short stroll through the beautiful and green landscape. The Jardins take on a different mood during each season and the lush flowers and late afternoon shadows are so amazing during the summer months. The carnival was in full swing and I could hear the children and their parents enjoying the attractions in the park. Along the way, I could smell the cotton candy in the air and the sounds of coins flipping onto plates. It was definitely "les vacances" in Paris. I checked my pedometer reading - 14,208 steps-- and there were still more hours left in my day....amazing.
