My walk to school: the Luxembourg Gardin





Every morning to get to class at Reid Hall I get to walk through the Luxembourg Gardens. It is so pretty right now with the leaves starting to fall, and it's a great place for people watching. There are always so many people jogging or walking with their kids. There are tennis courts and playgrounds and an area where older men play pétanque (kind of like bocce). The trees are all planted in straight lines and there are so many benches interspersed where couples love to sit.


You're not allowed on the grass, but people move their chairs to face the sun, and just sit there for hours talking and watching the world go by.




And for Nuit Blanche, a big city-wide art festival, there were a couple exhibits in the Garden. This HUGE disco ball was hoisted way up in the air by a crane, and projected reflections all around the gardens and the surrounding buildings that night.
