[Segilla]

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

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

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
