I thought since we are in the twilight days of summer I would bring you one final dash of lush greenery. I discovered this little gem of a park in the 5th arr. after having Lunch with Lynn at Le Reminet one rare, lazy summer afternoon a while ago. Jardin de La Rue Bievre is oddly set in the middle of a quiet street, a calm respite from city life. The few people who were in the park were quiet, and seem to be reflecting on life.

rue de bievre is where the former president francois mitterand had his private house and he lived there 20 years... I did not know there was a garden there.. The bievre is a little river that is underneath the street and reaching the seine
