Description
The Luxembourg Gardens and Palace in Paris lie in the 6th Arrondissement not far from the Pantheon. It was created in 1612 by Marie de' Medici, the widow of King Henry IV of France, for a new residence. Today the French Senate meet in the Palace. The gardens have a formal design and are filled with beautiful lawns, promenades of manicured trees, flower beds, orchards, statues, and a circular pool known for its model sailboats. The Luxembourg Gardens are a quiet and peaceful place that provide a nice place to relax away from the city streets of Paris. Originally the gardens were only 8 hectares in size, but over time they were enlarged to 23. This image is also available in color.
You can read about our adventure in Europe in my husband's book, "Vagabonds in France", by Michael A. Barry. Come with us as we lose our home, put everything in storage, and navigate through Europe for a few months with no return date or home to come back to. Sail across the Atlantic, dodge pickpockets, climb mountains, descend into the Paris Metro, endure nasty weather and illness, witness the flood of the century, and meet some wonderful and not-so-wonderful people. Chuckle with us as we live among the French and try to learn their ways and language. Then make it back home to an empty house we'd never seen before. The book with its 75 illustrations is available in both paperback and Kindle on Amazon at http://www.amazon.com/dp/B01NCUNSEK .

Art is unquestionably one of the purest and highest elements in human happiness. It trains the mind through the eye, and the eye through the mind. As the sun colours flowers, so does art colour life. -- Congratulations on your recent sale of an amazing work

The black and white is reminiscent of days long ago, seeing the children playing with the sailboats adds a special warmth!
