 The Sénat. Why can't American government buildings be located in public gardens? |
 Relaxing in the park. |
 The pond is a popular place to dip your feet and sail mini boats. |
 The dome of the Panthéon, rising over the trees. |
 An interesting set of sculptures - the one in the back is Ulysses, the one in the front appears to be someone's nose. |
 It always seems strange to see palm trees in Europe. |
 Another palm tree and a section of flowerbed. |
 I can't really describe this sculpture. |
 A replica of the Statue of Liberty, given by the original sculptor. |
 Boules - the French version of bocce. |
 Chess is another popular pastime in the shadier parts of the park. |
 Espaliered fruit trees (the white bags protect the fruit from birds and insects). There are over 350 varieties grown here. |
 One of the lanes of horsechestnut trees. Apparently the trees are pruned with a laser to keep their shape. |
 The section of lawn you're actually allowed to sit on. |
