Our lovely friend Michelle met us at Parc Monceau today. It's located in a ritzy part of town, where Michelle said there are private streets.
We went specifically to see the mini replicas of monuments that Isabella had read about in her walking tours for kids cards. The cards, though useful to some extent, overstated the monuments. Unless we were missing a large part of the park, there were only 2, a pyramid and some Roman-type pillars.
No matter, Michelle brought some wine and cookies, I brought along salami, baguette, fruit and nutella for Isabella and we had a really fun time. Isabella had her soceer ball with her so we all played together.
As the clock past Noon, many people came to the park to enjoy their lunch hours. They were there well over and hour, which Michelle said is more typical, since they usually take a two hour break midday. It was nice to see everyone spreading out their lunches, dressed for work, but on a blanket in a park.
Overall we had a good time just having a regular park day, which just so happened to be amidst some beautiful old Parisian homes!
