Jardin du Luxembourg

On Monday in Paris, we took a stroll down the Promenade Plantée, an elevated park in east Paris. Then we went south of the river Seine to the Jardin du Luxembourg, one of the largest parks in Paris. There's a big pond/fountain in the middle of the park, where kids bring their little sailboats and push them in. They wait for them to sail back to the edge and then push them back again. Check out the video.


There's also a statue of my Uncle Jed in the park. At least it looks kind of like him...

After hanging out in the park, riding the merry-go-round there, and sitting down on the grass with hundreds of other people while we ate a snack, we walked north across the river to the Île de la Cité. There was a group of inline skaters there showing off. Here's a video of one of them.


I can do that too, and I don't need skates to do it...
