Hidden Forest

Parc de Bercy


Forêt à la Bibliothéque Nationale (c'est vraiment comme un petit morceau de la compagne dedans!)


Not many tourists get a chance to venture out into the east ends of the 12th and 13th arrondisement. If they were curious enough to venture out so far they would discover a place where Parisians flock to when the sun is out. This portion I speak of is by the Bibliothéque Nationale (François Mitterand) and a portion of the 12th carved out by the rail lines leading to Gare de Lyon close to métro Bercy. Here, one can see spring gearing up for a grand entry...

Daffodils! Je suis jaloux! Montréal est toujour bien pris par l'hiver - merci pour ce petit avant-gout de printemps ma cherie.

I miss you.

Oh my goodness! I read Adam Gopnick's description of the librarie and he made it sound like a freakish dungeon of ugly-tude. That photo looks splendid!
