One of my (very) many favorite things in Paris is the abundance of small parks and squares all over the place. Square du Temple is just a block from my apartment – its mature trees (a wide variety of species), small pond with waterfall, greenery (with a splash of floral color here and there) playground, giant sandbox, bandstand, lush lawn, and meandering paths offer babies, moms, school kids, office workers, old folks and tourists (!) a great place to hang out, read a book, chat with friends, relax, eat lunch, feed birds, make business deals, soak in the sunshine, play chess. So restorative! Hopefully no drug deals are going down – I didn’t see any, but then I didn’t look for any!
