浪漫城之旅 - 卢森堡公园 *Trip to the City of Romance - Jardin du Luxembourg (22 May 08)



那一天早上,我们搭了地下铁,然后在最接近的地下铁停下来,再走到目的地。一路走去,我们无意中到了巴黎的歌剧院。地方不会很大,但蛮漂亮。最喜欢的是剧院旁边的走道,很Classic的味道。我们也停在不少的小当口shopping, 买了一些有的没的。

卢森堡花园是法国最大的公园。卢森堡公园的周围被很高的铁花围着,而铁花的四周都挂着名照。很可惜没多余的时间可以围着卢森堡花园走一圈,然后慢慢欣赏这些伟大的摄影。挂在铁花上的每一张都是那么的漂亮,那么的有意义,那么得让人感动。

进了卢森堡公园后,我只能说这花园真的是一个天堂!公园的landscape弄得很美,不但种了很多花、果树,还放了很多铜像及雕像。最吸引人的应该是公园中间的那个大池塘吧!大池塘就建在卢森堡参议院的前方。这里的大树种成一排排的,很整齐。花园里还备了很多椅子,供给游客休息,欣赏花园的美丽。整个花园一共是224,500平方公尺。




We took Paris tube to travel to a nearby tube station. Took a several minutes of walk before reaching Jardin du Luxembourg. Along the way, we saw one of the theater houses. I like the classic walkway beside the theater.

Jardin du Luxembourg is surrounded by a high iron-made gate and the award winning photos were hanging on the gate, surrounded the whole area. Jardin du Luxembourg is like another version of 'heaven'. This place is definately gorgeous. The landscape, the plants, the statues, the pond.... everything looked perfectly beautiful! There were chairs every where. Visitors could simply grap a chair, sit and relax to enjoy the beautiful scene of Jardin du Luxembourg. This area covers up to 224,500 square feet.

This is one of the art work we found on our way walking to Jardin du Luxembourg. Drawing windows to create such fantastic view in the city is such a wonderful idea!


This is the classic walkway that I mentioned.


Here we are in front of Jardin du Luxembourg's backgate. These are the award winning photos taken by professional photographers. Each photo carries some important messages, mainly about saving the earth and world peace.

Long way to go before reaching the front gate of Jardin du Luxembourg.


Fountain of the Observatory (in France it is called Quatre-du-Parties-World) stands on the most front of Luxembourg garden.




Later in the afternoon, we went for lunch. None of us was dare to order escargot - the France snails.








The knife went down and all the blood splashed out! Yuu.... eating like a dracular!


I guess this beef was only 30% cooked.... or may be less!
