    Le parc Monceau, Paris

    A little-known gem which is a bit out of the way, but well worth a visit.



    and



    Berlioz used to visit towards the end of his life. (See Cairns biography of Berlioz, Vol 2).

    Interesting - thanks, Segilla. I think the closest I've been seems to be the gare St-Lazare! It looks very attractive, less formal than the Luxembourg
    It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

      Still pretty formal - Don't sit on the grass or you will be whistled at in no uncertain manner, by the patrolling authorities!

        Et pourquoi pas? If people don't know how to behave in public. Sitting on the grass, indeed! They'll be kicking a football around next
