On our first day in Paris we went for a walking tour in the Luxembourg Garden and adjacent streets, with the plan to end up where Yuliya teaches, namely the Sorbonne.\u00a0 This is an enormous garden\/park, and Parisians spend a good deal of time in these places\u2013 doing exercise, playing soccer, reading a novel, eating lunch etc. Here\u2019s the fountain..<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

At the other end of the park there is what once was a palace.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There is even a triumphal arch in the middle, not to be confused with the arche d\u2019 Triomphe.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And there is a sailing pool as well\u2026<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And there is a fountain with statues\u2026<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So much is within walking distance in this portion of the city, including the market\u2026.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Liver anyone?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And frankly there are too many tempting shops near by\u2026<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

I mean how you turn down some real chocolate mousse!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

But maybe you need some Tums afterwards\u2026 no problem,<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

and finally the court leading to the Sorbonne\u2026<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

With all this rich food around, even the pigeons end up being obese!<\/p>\n
