Cafe de Flore, Paris
Made by Rita Crane Photography
Dawn at the Cafe de Flore, Latin Quarter. I had to get up early in the morning to get here in time to take a picture before a lot of cars and traffic blocked the view!! You can see the chairs are still stacked out front. And the blue light of dawn gives the image a soft look. You can learn more about this lovely place on Google, but in the meantime here's this from www.paris.org: Like its celebrated rival Les Deux Magots, Café de Flore can claim to have been the heart of the Existentialist Movement during the early part of this century with Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir, Camus and others regularly meeting here. www.paris.org/Cafes/flore.html I read that the name 'Flore' came about because there is a little statue of the Goddess Flore across the street. Modigliani, Picasso and Soutine used to come by regularly. Meme que c'etait l'aube les voitures commencaient deja a bloquer ma prise de vue alors j'ai du travailler tres rapidement pour faire cette photo. Quel ravissante facade! On reconnait l'atmosphere bleuatre de l'aube. Il parait que le nom vient d'une petite statue de la deesse romaine Flore qui etait place en face a l'autre cote de la rue.

The Jardin du Luxembourg (familiar nickname Luco) is a 224,500 m² public park and the largest in the city located in the 6th arrondissement of Paris, France. Luxembourg is the garden of the French Senate, which is itself housed in the Luxembourg Palace. The palace and gardens were built by architect Salomon de Brosse for Marie de' Medici from 1615 to 1627. The gardens include a large, fenced-in playground that's very popular with local younger children and their parents and adjacent to it there's an excellent puppet theatre and a merry-go-round. On occasion, pony rides are also available. In addition, free musical performances are presented in a gazebo on the grounds and there's an anonymous, inexpensive restaurant nearby, under the trees, with both indoor and outdoor seating from which you can enjoy the music over a glass of wine. The garden is enjoyable for its calm. On the little pond children play with miniature boats. The garden contains various statues and sculptures. Surrounding the pond are a series of statues of former French queens. The École nationale supérieure des Mines de Paris and the Odéon theatre stand next to the Luxembourg Garden.
