Last April was pretty much perfect, from the start to the finish but so far this April has been so-so. Since I have not yet made it beyond my coffee, here's a photo from the Luxembourg Gardens last April with my French godson, Pierre-Francois. Despite the look on his face, he hated to leave that merry-go-round. Every time it slowed down he would push it again, dive in and hold on for dear life. Over and over and over. Anyone visiting Paris with kids really needs to head into the park which was created for children. Besides the fenced in area with this fun stuff, they have pedal-powered go karts, pony rides, a pond with cute little sailboats and much more. Even for adults, it's the perfect spot for strolling through the gardens, reading or of course, people watching.
