Gardens Of Paris - Palais De Chaillot

These are the gardens below Palais De Chaillot, with an amazing view to the Eiffel Tower. Again, a beautiful summer's day in Paris, and the locals and tourists are out in force. The French do take pride in their gardens, and with a built up city, having these spaces is important.

This really is a great part of Paris. I remember sitting on one of those benches in 2002 with friends, rugged up in the height of winter, with some nice cheap bottles of red, some plastic cups and some pain au chocolat. We sipped wine and ate while waiting for the Eiffel Tower lights to come on. It doesnt get much better than that.
