A place to relax.


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.

Top photo is gorgeous, gorgeous! Is that wisteria or what might be known as a Princess tree?

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)...
