Fleurs du printemps

I have to hand it to the French - they know how to plant up a public garden. I've been very impressed by the naturalistic style of some of the municipal parks. I'm now in the Jardin des Tuileries - near the Louvre, and although the style here is more formal - it's an impressive city center park which tourists and locals alike are out enjoying on a slightly hazy April morning.
