SNAPSHOTS FROM VERSAILLES

When in Versailles I wanted to see something I discovered only recently: le Potager du Roy. It was the fruit and vegetable garden that produced all the good things on king's table. It was created in the 17th century and was located right beside the castle garden. But today, if you want to visit it, you need to enter on the other side, in front of the Cathdral (below, behind the garden wall).

The garden reproduces different methods of fruit culture. What I liked about this garden is the way the vegetables and the flowers are mixed together. It' s a really enchanting place to visit.

J'ai profité de mon passage à Versailles pour visiter un endroit dont j'ai entendu parler seulement récemment: le Potager du Roy. Le Potager servait à produire les fruits et les légumes pour la table du roi . C'est un endroit enchanteur et mérite bien la visite.

SNAPSHOTS FROM VERSAILLES

I've been having some technical and other problems and now I'm running late with the photos I took in Paris. To tell the truth I didn't spend much time in the ordinary tourist haunts, except at the English bookstore on Rue de Rivoli and the night out with my daughter at the Louvre (see below) and the Tour Eiffel (no good pictures of the sparkling Tour).

Instead I spent my two own days allmost in the country: I really have become a country girl. Whenever I can I flee to be among the flowers and the bees.

So the first day off I went to Versailles. And in Versailles I didn't visit the castle but took a little tour of the gardens and went to another place...

J'ai eu quelques problèmes qui font que je suis très en retard avec les photos de Paris. D'ailleurs, j'ai guerre des photos de Paris. Je me suis rendue compte que je suis devenue une vraie fille des campagnes et dès que j'arrive dans une ville je cherche tout de suite les fleurs. Ici les jardins de Versailles.

Foire du Trône, le jardin des Tuileries

I'm in Paris again for a few days, staying with a dear old friend. Hoping to have some time to visit some of the lovely gardens and parcs here.

For this time I only have my old pocket camera with me. And it's raining. So the pictures won't be wonderfull. But still, it's Paris!

Pour quelques jours à Paris de nouveau, chez une chère "vieille" amie. Munie seulement de mon ancien appareil photographique. En plus, il pleut. Les images ne seront donc pas extraordinaires. Par contre, je les aurais sur le blog très vite. Contrairement à tous les jolies photos que j'ai prises ces dernières semaines avec mon nouvel appareil et qui sommeillent toujours sur la carte mémoire...
