Daily touch of France - Thursday edition - Jardin du Luxembourg

5. Isn't it a fabulous place?

We spent an excellent afternoon there. Was so impressed with how Parisians use this place, 3 people showed up sitting on the benches across from the pond. Each one of them brought something to contribute and there was a large picnic basket with pastries. They ate great looking cheese and wine and had a great time visiting. You don't see this much in America at lunch during the week. People in France know how to live, few cars, good buses and trains, church bells telling the time, people gathering over food and drink, flowers everywhere during the spring/summer.
