J is
for Jardin du Palais Royal
One
of my favorite spots in Paris holds a
special place in my heart.
Lined
with ornamental gardens and rows of trimmed trees, the Jardin du Palais Royal is the perfect spot to sit, talk with your
lover or even get engaged! In 2009, the latter is exactly what happened to me!
You can read about my Perfect
Proposal in Paris here. Later this month, we'll celebrate six adventurous years together!
In
October, hubby and I returned to the City of Lights in order to reconnect with
his brother and his wife whom we haven’t seen in person for two years. The four
of us had a blast eating, drinking and sightseeing our way around the city. (That
sounds like another blog post in the making!) Of course, we had to show off the
jardin!
Just
a short stroll from the Louvre, the nearly 400-year-old gardens are tucked
behind the neoclassical Palais Royal (closed to the public). The palace and its
ornamental gardens were constructed in 1633 and even housed the royal families
up until the Palace of Versailles was built in the late 17th
century.
With
its beautiful roses and other perennials, these gardens are the city’s only
ones to be classified as a “Remarkable
Garden” by the French Ministry of Culture. The jardin is truly a peaceful haven and a place where romance can
bloom in the French capital!

What a lovely spot and so nice that y'all got to enjoy it with family.
What great adventures you always have and share with us.
Time has flown. It is hard to believe it will be six years this month.
A lovely photo and it brings back so fond memories of Paris. It's wonderful when you can catch up with family in a holiday destination and just eat and drink and laugh. Pity they won't let you sit on the grass though. Very French!
