So many great things to see :) ( ) Getting ready for the big trip. We're going to need quiet spots on this one, what with bringing the kid and having 3 introverts outnumber the one extrovert. J and I are comfortable enough with the big sites and neighborhoods and parks with two trips to Paris under our belt . . . but I'm looking forward to using a few of these spots as a break in my days - especially since the non-park focus is on neighboring bookstores. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
For the seasoned Parisian traveller or the novice looking to get off the beaten track Cahill provides a roadmap to parts of the city most visitors will never see In a city that is the destination of millions of travelers every year, it can be difficult to find your way to its lovely, serene spaces. Away from the madding crowds, the gardens of Paris offer the balm of flowers, tall old trees, fountains, ponds, sculptures, with quiet Parisians readingLe Monde, taking the sun, relishing the peace. These places are often tucked away, off the beaten tourist track, and without a guide they're easy to miss: TheJardin de l'Atlantique,out of sight on the roof of Gare Montparnasse. The enchantingJardin de la Vallée Suisse,invisible from the street, accessible only if you know how to find the path. TheSquare Boucicaut, its children's carousel hidden inside a grove of oak and maples.Square Batignolles, the shade of the old chestnut trees an inspiration to the painter Édouard Manet and poet Paul Verlaine. Hidden Gardens of Paris features 40 such oases in quartiers both posh and plain, as well as dozens of others "Nearby" to the featured green space. It is arranged according to the geographic sections of the city--Île de la Cité, Left Bank, Right Bank, Western Paris, Eastern Paris--a lively and informative guide that focuses on each place as a site of passionate cultural memory.
