We spent Sunday afternoon walking
through The Tuileries Gardens.
We were here a few years ago in May
but the flowers weren't in bloom
like they are this time.
I had to stop and take this beautiful
shot of a purple bike against
the purple gardens! So perfect -
it was like a prop brought along for
my delight.
Hubby and I are architecture fanatics
more than art fanatics and we
could just walk the streets of Paris
endlessly enjoying all of the
architectural detail and taking
photos of those details.
Add to that the beauty of flowers
and I had the perfect stroll!
The blooms were fantastic.
At the end of the garden
is the Louvre. You can imagine
what this garden must have been like
when it was part of the royal palace.
Today it was crowded with people.
How nice that so many can now enjoy it.
The fountains were all on and people were
enjoying the sunshine pulled up in their
chairs around the fountains.
The children were gathered around this
fountain playing with the wooden
boats and someone even had brought
a motorized boat. The movement of
the water pushes the wooden boats
around and the children use poles to push
them back out. They were delightful to watch.
There is an area for children with trampolines
and another with slides. Families were out
in large numbers enjoying the perfect spring weather.
It couldn't have been a more perfect day!
I have pictures and a recipe for you from
our first cooking class -
Macarons
but I am running out the door so will
leave those for later. I promise to
do a tutorial.
Here is something to tempt you to come
back!
Yes, I made all of these. Frances our teacher
made it so fun and so easy and we each took
home about 15. We have been enjoying them
ever since!
Today we are off to learn Croissants!
Wish you were all going to class with us!!
