Bonjour mes amis we’re back with another installment! This time we’ll visit the Paris 2024 Summer Olympics destination Luxembourg Gardens. A lot of events along with the games themselves will be taking place.
With all the hustle and bustle going on you’re bound to get tired. That is the perfect time to relax at the Luxembourg Gardens. It is known for its calming atmosphere.
The Luxembourg Gardens are loved by locals and tourists alike. You can have a picnic, soak up the sun, and people watch. Children are playing, joggers are jogging, and boxers are working out. Even pony rides are available. While you observe the people, you can also admire statues of ancient queens and saints. Then take a stroll under the
trees while observing the flowers in bloom.
As if that isn’t enough, in the evening, you can enjoy beautiful sunsets as the sky color changes. There are also excellent views of the Eiffel Tower, the Pantheon, the gorgeous Medici Fountain, and the Luxembourg Palace. However, the palace is off limits to visitors. But that’s fine because you can go play chess or pétanque (lawn bowling).
Tennis courts and other athletic facilities can also be used for entertainment.
