We set out for Les Jardins des Plantes this morning. Isbaella had read about it in her city walks for kids cards, and was most interested in the labyrinth. So when we got there and I pointed out the zoo (Menagerie) and the natural history museum she was happily surprised that these were also on offer.
The museum is a beautiful place with an amazing curio quality to the setting. It was impossible to get good pictures as it was very low lit and involved a lot of dark wood and metal. Such a lovely atmosphere that we spent several hours exploring.
The walk to the museum was a bit long, since I was, as usual turned around, but once we got going it was a nice walk. Due to the heat, I asked and Isabella agreed to skip the zoo. There was a teaching garden that had big sprinklers running, which we took full advantage of (and wer dry within moments).
Back through the Ile Ste Louis for more ice cream, this time actual Berthaillon (but the real place was closed) and to BHV for a fan.
Oh wait, how do you say fan in French? Who knows (well I do now: ventilator). We scoured the store on several levels and nearly gave up when all we could find was 229euro Dyson model. Then, we spotted a nice looking woman with fan! She showed us where they were and how to say it. For a mere 15euros we increased our fans to two in the apartment and have been much happier!
