Dimanche in the park

If I'm staying with M. in the 6th arrondissement, she usually walks me to the RER St.-Michel station other side of Luxembourg gardens. If it's a Sunday/dimanche... There's no nicer way to depart Paris... Everyone is out in the park on Sunday...

Taking in the last of the Fall leaves...

But mostly relaxing...

 Very few are working.

Decontracte is the word for the day.

Very few are reading the Sunday papers. This is not Central Park.

All Paris babies are out showing off.

The small fry get to take.

 Luxembourg's poney rides.

Jam-packed on a Sunday.

To get to the RER station you walk by the pond.

Perfect for small boats and small fry.

You don't see many eating in the park. These girls are excused.

I can tell from their red striped paper bag.
They came from the penny candy stall at Odeon Metro.

Les bonbons are always allowed in Paris.

BONJOUR PARIS FALL!
 

Pierre Herme Tarte croustillante aux cerises

Pierre Herme Cherry Strusel Tarte, watercolor, 9" x 11"

Normally I wouldn't picked out a strusel-covered tarte at Pierre Herme, but Amy and I discussed having a 'crumble' taste test at Les Deux Abeilles.  I took a shot of the tarte before gobbling it down Sunday just a week ago - I usually forget. M. says cherries/cerise = June/juin. This being the last day of June it seems appropriate to do an homage of sorts to cherries.
