To continue with the theme of Parcs in Paris, today I explored Parc des Buttes-Chaumont. This parc was busy with joggers,dog-walkers, and with a few parents and children sprinkled in the mix. As the name suggests, it has a couple of steep hills which makes for more interesting walking.There is a beautiful man-made waterfall and a temple high atop a hill.
The Fall colour is beginning to get ripe here. In about a week, it should be all ablaze with Fall Colour.
And after a strenuous hike in the parc, one is hungry. You know, I don’t do McDonald’s at home, and I don’t need to repeat it here! 😉
On my return from the Parc des Butes-Charmont, I took the bus to The Louvre. It’s so much more interesting to see scenery through a bus window than through a subway window! 😉
Upon arrival at The Louvre I was delighted to discover some modern art displayed street side.
These pieces include: The Three Politicians, Modern Heroes, Jelly Baby Family, and a beautiful adjoining floral display.

Looks like a great trip. The cat looks very majestic. Thank you for including me,
No McDonalds in the USA? Not even with the grandchildren? No Happy Meals? Yipes! Glad to see you are acting like a normal person in Paris!
The pictures are beautiful! I have to admit that I’m a sucker for an egg mcmuffin and the original $.89 burger.
