Jardin du Luxembourg - Paris 13

After the tour of Notre-Dame, with the sound of the church bells and the images of the stained glass still ringing in my head, I wished for some peace. Paris knows how to be loud and fast, but it also knows how to surprise you with moments of silence, if you go just a little further from the main streets.

And so, walking through the streets of the Latin Quarter, I reached one of the most beautiful places in the city, the Jardin du Luxembourg, also known as the Luxembourg Garden.

Already at the entrance, I was greeted by autumn, yellow leaves, cool air, a gentle wind, and people casually walking, sitting on benches, or simply enjoying the moment. Paris under a grey sky has a special colour, one that is hard to describe but easy to recognise.
