Life gets better (in Paris) with each day...A wonderful afternoon in the Luxembourg Garden, after the French-English Conversation Group.
The Luxembourg Palace was built for Marie de Medicis, the mother of king Louis XIII of France,in the years 1615-1627.She decided to build the palace in imitation of the Pitti Palace in her native Florence. She purchased the hotel du Luxembourg (today the Petit-Luxembourg palace) and began construction of the new palace. In 1612 she planted 2,000 elm trees, and had a park built also in the style she had known as a child in Florence.She hired the same guy who designed the Tuileries and the early garden of Versailles.
Today, the Palais du Luxembourg in the Luxembourg Garden, is where the French Senate meets and is home of the president of French Senate .It is near the site of an old hôtel particulier owned by François, duc de Luxembourg, hence its name, now called Petit Luxembourg.
This is where we spent simply a beautiful Wednesday afternoon in Paris..."Just Livin'"
