I’ve already talked about the sunset in Paris but my very favourite spot is in the Tuileries Gardens. I don’t usually post this many photos at a time but I happened to be there recently when the sun and the sky were just perfect! They’re not of the sunset itself but of the changing light over the surrounding buildings and fountains. So come with me as I walk from the Concorde end of the gardens down to the Louvre and then we’ll have a drink at Café Marly!

Now who would expect a goat in the Tuileries Gardens?

Thanks for that lovely outing! 🙂 I didn’t realise Cafe Marly spilled out into that area..is that only in spring/summer?? Xx Jill
I guess Café Marly gets its chairs out as soon as there’s enough sun!
