Today we decided to relax in the Jardin de Luxembourg… We have been traveling around Paris and feeling the city-ness… and wanted less stress. So we took us a picnic lunch of a tasty poppyseed baguette, a delicious hummus, an unpretentious rosé, the last of our artisan sausage and for dessert, Nutella. Oh…. Soooo good. We pulled some chairs up to a bench and we et.
After lunch we strolled, let Harold watch the boats at the fountain/pond and mostly stayed in the shade. It was not as warm as it has been, but certainly hot for my likes.

And how did you manage un bateau américain for background?!? Another nice retreat, altho quite different, is the Promenade Plantée, a 2-Km elevated garden walk on top of a repurposed railway viaduct. Underneath it in the viaduct arches are some of the wildest shop windows you’ve ever seen.
