PARIS: Jardin du Luxembourg

People love to relax in Paris.  Whether it is sitting at a cafe or at a park, they really enjoy themselves and living the Parisian lifestyle.

The Jardin du Luxembourg is located in the 6th arrondissement and is a perfect spot to relax.

The palace was built in 1612 by Marie de’ Medici, Louis IV’s widow, and is surrounded by immaculate gardens and a pond in the center.Paris in one week, Paris, France, Europe, Travel, Jardin du Luxembourg, Luxembourg Garden, Luxembourg Palace, 6th arrondissement

My husband and I walked over here one morning to be as the Parisians.  So many people were out and about.Paris in one week, Paris, France, Europe, Travel, Jardin du Luxembourg, Luxembourg Garden, Luxembourg Palace, 6th arrondissement

We wandered around a bit and then sat in some chairs to just soak it all in.  My  husband fell asleep as I wrote.  But first he took this picture. ;)Paris in one week, Paris, France, Europe, Travel, Jardin du Luxembourg, Luxembourg Garden, Luxembourg Palace, 6th arrondissement

We saw some ponies which kids were riding.  I fell in love and wanted to keep all of them. :)Paris in one week, Paris, France, Europe, Travel, Jardin du Luxembourg, Luxembourg Garden, Luxembourg Palace, 6th arrondissementParis in one week, Paris, France, Europe, Travel, Jardin du Luxembourg, Luxembourg Garden, Luxembourg Palace, 6th arrondissement
