Sunday is a lazy mans days and it's no different in Paris. Like If you're like me and feel there are just to many lazy days in the world and can't wait to get back into gear and stress about.. Hay! that's not me but if it's you, this post might not be for you.
A favorite Sunday pastime of the Parisians is to just relax in the part. Enjoy a pick nick or some ice cream among the trees and the birds. One prime destination for just this is Jardins du Luxembourg (or Luxemburg Gardens). It's still quite busy as Autumn knocks on the door and in the air there is a sense of squeezing out the last bit's of summer before another season takes it's place. After all the trees have already begun to change color all though be it, sporadically.
At the center of it all is the nice fountain and pool of water which is one of the sunnier places to lounge around. The mini pond is often filled with radio controlled sailboats and kinds of all ages resting on it sides. My suggestion is that you come a bit earlier to grab one of the many chair or stools inhabiting the park for a more adaptable and enjoyable setup. Preferably with you feet resting on something =)
Paris is always a main destination for tourist and you will with out a doubt spot your fair share of the horde here. The majority of visitors are still french and it's considered a very french thing to do to. So to Enjoy this favorite and FREE pastime of the french, head to the 6e arrondissement (6th district). It's hard to miss with it's 224.500 m2. It's history stretches back to 1611 but I'll just say that's it's a nice palace, gardens and fountain to have as your pick nicks backdrop.
So, are all days, Sundays, these days? wonders your mother?
