    I LOVE watching the children with the toy boats!
    Great idea to compare the 2010 photo with the Louvre painting.

    Great juxtaposition of the 2 photos! Slightly more relaxed in the modern shot ...

    I've an agreement with C.J. that should his lottery ticket buying someday produce a big win, he will buy us a small apartment near Le Jardin du Luxembourg, my favorite place in all of Paris.

      It was disconcerting to see the gardens in a painting after seeing the gardens in real life.

    I ate a lovely strawberry tart there and sat and watched people pass. Another night we had a picnic there.

    Your post brings back memories of my brother and I pushing off our boats in that very garden in the 1960's. What a lovely photo; what a lovely memory. Merci.
