I just love all the small parks and squares that dot Paris - they make it such a livable place, almost no matter where you go. Square Boucicaut is one of my faves! It is a small triangular parcel of land with hugely varied flora, a playground and merry-go-round for the kiddies, nice walking paths, benches on which to relax, and slightly secluded little corners where you can get away from the crowd while still feeling completely safe. It's right at the Sèvres-Babylone Métro stop, just next to Le Bon Marché department store (so very handy for talking a load off your feet if you've spent too much time shopping) and, thus, just a couple blocks from the apartment I'm using this trip! See. It's all about me!!!

Thanks for the posting on Square Boucicut, Mariellen. I visit it on almost ever trip - certainly those that include Bon Marche - and love picnicing there, and then feeding the pigeons.
Glad you're back in Paris. I always enjoy your postings.

Thanks for your comment, Bob! It's grey and drizzly and in the 40's here this week, but the Square is still lovely, and watching the little kids and the birds and the people is as delightful as ever.
