jardin du luxembourg
leaving the pantheon , i decided to stop in the jardin du luxembourg on the way to a slightly further away metro. on the way, i avoided a little rain shower. if anything, the rain shower just made the garden more beautiful. everything shimmered and glistened with the quick rain shower. the park is a very manageable size. i loved the symmetry and beautiful flower beds. it was so stately and beautiful. i loved the french style of having a flower bed in the middle of a grass path like you can see in the picture below: la fontain de medici was just beautiful too. i loved the secret shadows and deep overhangs. the fountain at the back was so intricate. the garden had just enough interest. i loved how well spaced all the details were. i loved this little statue of pan (perhaps) with the pantheon in the background. you can see the storm in the background and then compare it with the beautiful blue skies...
