Le Jardin Du
Luxemboug is the garden Marie de Medici had originally built for her palace.
The park boasts eighty statues. Among them are the renowned Queens
and famous women of France .
The gardens are the work of several artists including Cain,
Fremiet, Bourdelle and Marqueste. The Park has several beautiful fountains my
favorite being the Medici fountain.

There are hundreds of metal chairs placed everywhere just for lounging. There is also a wonderful bandstand that has
music about eight times a week in the summer.

I was city watching a concert in this park when a young
child about the age of six started to dance he threw his arms into the air then
his legs whirred in every direction. He leaped, he jumped, in each movement mounds of sheer joy sprang from his body and made everyone around him
smile.

When was the last time I danced like that? I can't remember when I ever
felt that free. It's been far too long, but I think it would be fun to try it once
again and see what happens.
