Most children love stained glass. The colors are vibrant and the pictures fascinating. The lower floor serves primarily as an entryway to the spectacular upper floor, which the eye sees as stained glass from floor to ceiling. The walls are so delicate, you barely notice they're there. Make sure you go early in the morning before the crowds arrive and, if at all possible, on a day when the sun outside makes the windows glow.
Locals come here to bask in the sunshine and tool around the pathways, admiring each other.
Occasionally the park has entertainers performing for the crowds. If you've been to the Mall in Washington, D.C., you'll recognize the layout. Pierre L'Enfant, the architect who designed D.C.'s master plan, was, after all, French. You could also try the Jardin du Luxembourg, on the southern mainland, with a playground, carousels, and pony rides. All rights reserved.
