Jardin du Luxembourg

The Jardin du Luxembourg, or the Luxembourg Garden, located in the6th arrondissement of Paris, was created beginning in 1612 by Marie de' Medici, the widow of King Henry IV of France, for a new residence she constructed, the Luxembourg Palace. The garden today is owned by theFrench Senate, which meets in the Palace. It covers 23 hectares and is known for its lawns, tree-lined promenades, flowerbeds, the model sailboats on its circular basin, and for the picturesque Medici Fountain, built in 
1620.   


Five things I see
people relaxing on the grass-les gens de détente sur l'herbe
statues-statues
mini sailboats-mini- voiliers
a little pond-un petit étang
benches-bands


Blanquette de Veau


Souffle

I hear...
A tree blowing in the breeze


J'entends... Un arbre soufflant dans la brise
