If there’s only one park to recommend in Paris

It has to be Luxembourg Gardens A must-visit spot in the Latin Quarter, combining historical architecture, natural scenery, and that French relaxed vibe. Sitting on the green railings, you instantly tap into the French way of life. 🇫🇷💚 You might question the political tactics of the Medici family, but you have to admire their aesthetic sense. The entire park and the two palaces were built by Queen Marie de Medici, wife of Henry IV. After Henry IV was assassinated, the Medici family assisted the young Louis XIII in governing. As the new king grew up, he became increasingly intolerant of the regent queen. She then bought land here and built the Luxembourg Palace. The park and the palace were built in the style of the Palazzo Pitti in Florence, where she spent her youth, and it is now the home of the French Senate. 🏰🌳 Personally, one of the highlights of Luxembourg Gardens is the Medici Fountain, which is over 400 years old. 🌊💦 Thinking of Sartre and de Beauvoir in 1929, sitting by the Medici Fountain, discussing their expectations for their relationship and how they would interact in the future. Sartre proposed his famous concepts of “necessary love” and “accidental love” at that time. Looking back, it might seem a bit like “playboy talk,” but who can really understand the warmth and coldness in love besides the people involved? Hands down, it’s a great place for a date or daydreaming. 📚💕 Around the pond, there are many grey-green metal chairs and loungers. When the weather is nice, all the chairs are filled with people. Many come here to sunbathe and read. The sunlight filtering through the leaves onto the lush green grass creates an impressionist play of light and shadow reminiscent of Monet’s brushstrokes. 🌞📖 This beautiful autumn afternoon in 2024, with such relaxation and contentment, will surely be remembered as something very special many years from now! 🍂🌟 #ParisPhotoSpots #ParisTravelGuide #NaturesPalette
