Gardens of the Palais Royal ~ Paris, November 2006
I was working out of my friend's office the other day which is in the Palais Royal. He was gazing out the window so I walked over to the window and he smiled and said, "This is as good as it gets." I love how the French take time to stop and smell the roses and appreciate life and beauty around them. The camera of course doesn't do justice to the vibrant colors of the leaves. The weather was rather wacky (read: global warming) so we didn't get the reds this year but regardelss, it was still beautiful. You couldn't see them through the trees yet but you could hear the shouts of children playing and the soothing splashing of the fountain.

I am crazy about the beauty of the Palais Royal gardens. I stayed in a triplex apartment in the Palais Royal in January 2008 and the sitting room opened right up onto the gardens. The linden lime trees were stunningly beautiful with no leaves. I was so seduced by the place that I am returning in October this year. It is a special, private place and has so much, right in the heart of Paris. Most tourists do not know about it.
