un petit coin sympa

Last weekend I visited a lovely garden in the 16th Arrondissement. It is called l'Espace Albert Kahn, after the explorer -and gardener- who created it. It's an unexpectedly large patch of verdure which is divided up into 4 0r 5 themed gardens. The most beautiful of these is definitely the Japanese garden, complete with darling little bonsais and maples and ponds full of carp. It was lovely and uncrowded and the sun came out for us for at least half an hour. Honestly 2 weeks ago it was like summer here, and today I put my winter coat back on. Yucky.
