Paris - Day 3 - Part 2 - Jardin du Luxembourg

After walking around Pantheon, it is time to have a snack and Boulangerie Eric Kayser is also nearby. Unfortunately, the staff at Boulangeris Eric Kayser didn't allow photography, and we got just 2 photographs.

 Boulangerie Eric Kayser at Rue Monge.

Various pastries at Boulangerie Eric Kayser.

Boulangerie Eric Kayser makes the pastry at the shop, managed to see a worker carrying white flour out of the bakery, the croissant has more buttery taste to it. Slightly different than Paul, but still quite top notch.

Autumn leaves at Rue Jean de Beauvais and Rue de Latran.

Look at the flowers.

Walking at Rue du Sommerard towards Musee Cluny, a medieval palace originally serve as the town house of the abbots of Cluny since 1334.

Decorations at the wall.

The building itself.

 Interesting door.

Nicely done medieval architecture

We didn't venture in Musee Cluny, in fact our next destination is Jardin du Luxembourg, the second largest public park. We walked further on.

Rue de la Sorbonne

University of Sorbonne, nice place to study, lots of history.

Around the University of Sorbonne

Finally the sun decided to come out and it is a different feel at Paris, very welcoming. We marched to the public park.

At the entrance to the public park

Something with the naked statues in Paris, nice flowers.

The sun light really changes the feel.

Even the trees are aligned properly.

Trail to the Luxembourg palace.

The sun has come out of the clouds.

The autumn season

Nice weather, a good day for walking.



Looking at the basin of palace of Luxembourg, more people gathering up.

Another view of the centre of the park.

Directions to the attractions, good to have the rest room pointed out.

This is a public park, lots of chairs.

Wider view of the Luxembourg palace.

Luxembourg palace is built for Marie de Medicis, the Medicis are powerful family in Florence, Italy. The Luxembourg palace design is modeled after Palazzo Pitti in Florence.

 Large basin before the palace.

Such cozy area.

The crows is building up.

Parisians flock the park on fine weather

What a relief it was to have a sunny day, it is the first sunny day since we reached Paris. It was enjoyable to be in the sun light and have a walk in the park.
