Yes, it is April in Paris. Parisians welcome the sun, the warmth and the company of
others as they come together at Luxembourg Gardens in the city's Latin Quarter.
Developed in the 1600's by Marie de Medici, the Luxembourg Gardens' promenades, historic
statues, monuments, flower beds and fountains offer one an ideal outing following winter's long, dreary days.
The pond in front of the palace is a gathering place for children (and parents) who excitedly race
sailboats, running to catch-up with their little wind-driven vessels. There is again a welcome mist from the Observatory Fountain and the many statues again call to mind people and times past. But Parisians most
look forward to a park bench, Spring's warmth, a good book...and maybe a friend. It is April in Paris!
