When I was taking a walk through the Jardin des Tuileries in Paris I enjoyed seeing groups of green chairs scattered throughout the park. I liked the arrangement of chairs here because they seemed so casual and friendly, and they were quite comfortable too. When I look at this picture I notice that the middle chair is between two other chairs. It is also between the bench and the lawn. Then I noticed something else. If you look in the upper left hand corner you will see the Eiffel Tower between some trees. It looks like Paris in May provides lots of scenes that fit this theme.

You are right – it is by the Louvre and it you keep walking you end up at the Place de la Concorde. It is a wonderful place to walk!

I knew it was near the Louvre and then thought is it the Champs and along there Arch de Triumph…. I wasn’t 100% It has been a long time since I was in Paris. Must be time to go back and refresh my memories ;)

Once you walk across the Place de la Concorde you are on the Champs-Elysees so your memory is correct. It’s a bit of a walk but what a beautiful way to see Paris!

I try not to take the metro too much unless in a rush or too far off. The best way to see the city is on foot… and you never know what you may come across.

Looks like a lovely place to sit. I see the bench, beautifully placed for a pretty view across the the park. I never pass up a shot of a view from a bench. Benches are put there to encourage you to enjoy the view. I’ve yet to find one facing a blank canvas.
The chairs give me another picture though, a group of friends, three, four, possibly even five, stop for a rest in this beautiful setting. Some sit on the bench, but two more, instead of using the chairs to enjoy the view, turn them to enjoy the company too. :-)

That is a marvelous way of looking at the chairs and the bench! I felt that the placement of the chairs made the scene very friendly and inviting… :)

I adore Tuileries Gardens. The view of the Louvre from the pond is one I have cropped as a header on my blog from time to time. It is such an unexpected green spot in the city — or leafy autumn jewel. Thanks for taking me back there for a moment.
