Spring walks spring flowers spring in Paris
Bagatelle gardens in spring
Spring is here and time for walks in the city’s many wonderful gardens. One of my favourite walks is the Bagatelle gardens where I can delight my senses into a variety of spring flowers forming a web of multicoloured gems. Various flower bulbs, daffodils, magnolias and the intoxicating fragrance of hyacinths spread out like a beautiful tapestry. Yellow daffodils swaying gracefully to the music of the wind. A feast for the eyes.

Even the inhabitants can sometime be a fascination for little visitors …
Alice in the land of peacocks
Walk around the many paths leading to flowers beds and get a glimpse of the seasonal garden, waterfalls ponds and shady trees. The eighteenth park and château which once belonged to the Comte d’Artois remain one of the most enchanting place to come for an afternoon walk.
