Hidden Gardens of Paris

{ 07.02.08 | Written by Stacey }

Joseph sent me this article from the NY Times {by David Brabyn} a couple days ago. I love the slide show, but it sends me right into wanderlust. We will go back to Paris in the future when we are rich and famous… you know what I mean…

NEXT to the Palais de la Découverte, just off the Champs-Élysées, is a flight-of-fancy sculpture of the 19th-century poet Alfred de Musset daydreaming about his former lovers. As art goes, the expanse of white marble is pretty mediocre, and its sculptor, Alphonse de Moncel, little-remembered. For me, however, it is a crucial marker. To its right is a path with broken stone steps that lead down into one of my favorite places in Paris, a tiny stage-set called Jardin de la Vallée Suisse. - David Brabyn, NY Times
