parc belleville

Parc Belleville has nice views of the city.

nature capitale

Nature Capitale was a huge expo on the Champs Elysees this holiday weekend. It was intended to show the importance of agriculture (both locally and nationally), to educate the public on different types of plants/fruits/vegetables/fruits, and to promote the use of eco-friendly naturally reusable wooden crates. Well at least, this is what I got from it.

reusable wooden crates:

mass French peoples!

there was also booths selling regional goodies:

oh, la vache!

I wanted to go up in that red device very badly:

a French man with an unnecessary cat:

greeeen!

i want to go to there.

so many people and so hot.

beeeees!!! this reminded me of you Katie.

heaps and heaps of Frenchies in the heat.

la maison bois, le choix par nature = wooden crates are the choice of nature

I love that the stop light is in the middle of the chaos!

crazy cool!

Check out this time lapse:

the view from Madison's window

Now that the trees are in full bloom that view from Madison's window is even better!!!!! Ah I would give an arm and leg to live in this apartment for the rest of my life.

Jardin des Plantes

Today I went to Jardin des Plantes, which is the main botanical garden in France.

This place is glorious, plants, shrubs, trees, flowers EVERYWHERE!

They are all labeled, which I quite like.
