So close to
the thousands of people admiring the Eiffel Tower, lining up to climb to
the top..., there is a possibility to find an absolute calm. I talked about the Trocadero gardens in a previous
post, but did not concentrate on this park side, actually just behind a little
walking alley, named after the Swedish King Gustave (Gustaf) V (1858-1950).
I don’t know how many species of trees – different kinds of oaks, hornbeams, (false) acacias, maples, pines, elms…
… and
plants you can find here.
There is
also a little current and some ponds – with a few ducks.
This is
also where you can find the Paris Aquarium - at the moment with a temporary
exposition about pirates, based on the Japanese manga series, “One Piece” - well
advertised on the outside.

I have never seen a picture of the Tour Eiffel with wisteria in front of it. This is a lovely picture – full of spring. I don’t think that park is well known as I have not seen many pictures of it on blogs. You do find the most interesting places, Peter. Great post.
I am simply bedazzled! What a wonderful visit, Peter -- and perfect for this spring day!

Top photo is gorgeous, gorgeous! Is that wisteria or what might be known as a Princess tree?
Il est joli ce parc.
Ce petit parc a des airs de ton square des Batignolles par les aménagements (cascade), je n'y ai jamais mis les pieds, à la différence de celui qui est plus près de la tour (où je suis passée avec toi)...
Looks like giving a possibility to relax from the crowds, nice place!
