If you have quite enough time for Paris I recommend you to visit Monceau park (Monceau metro station, line 2). In 1769 Duke of Chartres, future Duke of Orleans, bought the land in Paris and built the garden. In 1861 the park became public and the bridge, the grotto and the waterfall was built here. Many sorts of flowers are grown here. Next time I want to see the park in spring.

First I thought both palaces are old because they’re situated in the center of the city. As it turned out both palaces were built in 1900, to the opening of the world exhibition in Paris. In Big Palace the theatre performance and paintings exhibitions take place. In Small Palace there is Paris collection that has sculptures and paintings.

In my first trip to Paris the small palace was under reconstruction works and I even couldn't see the facade of the palace. Fortunately I could see the wonderful small palace decoration during my second visit to the city. It is really beautiful.

It's my favorite district in Paris. It has its own spirit I'm sure. I can't explain that. I just liked it, its streets upstairs and downstairs. Fantastic place! I had a walking from Monceau Park to Sacre Coeur Basilica and it was one of the most fantastic journeys in my life. You should have a walking in quarters near of the cemetery because on the closed jalousie of the shops there are nice pictures of the local painters.

Tuileries Garden is garden between Place de la Concorde and Louvre Museum and it exists since 1664. It is wonderful place to relax and to sit around the fountains enjoying sky. It is really very beautiful here. You may have a rest here after long day in Louvre :-)

Hi, Andrew, you are right! Visit Paris costs a mess. Espesially if you may say: "When I visit Paris last time ..." Spasibo for your comment at my Paris-page | diocletianvs Wed Jan 25, 2006 17:55 UTC
Even the impression of magnificent cities like Paris can be improved when you have locals like Lio and Marina. Nice page, I better start practicing my bad French for August :) | Maurizioago Fri Nov 25, 2005 10:51 UTC
Paris is on my wish list. Ciao! |
