Uma das coisas que mais apreciei nos franceses é o seu gosto pelo ar livre e pelo sol, o que os leva a procurar constantemente a prática de atividades desportivas em espaços abertos, e pequenos momentos de descanso e lazer em parques ou jardins. Aliás, para uma cidade tão grande, Paris dedica muita da sua área a zonas verdes, e vi nos franceses muito incutida a cultura do jogging e da caminhada.
O Jardim do Luxemburgo encerrou com grande qualidade, o nosso terceiro dia na cidade Luz. Foi mandado construir em 1615 por Maria de Médicis, esposa de Henrique IV. Conte com muitos visitantes, quer locais, quer turistas, todos numa só missão: gozar o sol! No centro do jardim um grande lago octogonal serve de palco central às dezenas de cadeiras de ferro disponíveis a todos. Além de todas as óbvias atrações naturais dispersas pelos jardins, encontra ainda diversas estátuas de rainhas francesas, o Museu de Luxemburgo (museu de Arte Contemporânea), uma Escola de Apicultura e a Orangerie (muito conhecida pelas diversas exibições de Arte).
É o sítio ideal para se sentir como um francês.
One of the things I liked best about the French is their love for the outdoors and the sun, which leads them to seek constantly the practice of sport activities in open spaces, and small moments of rest and recreation in parks or gardens. Indeed, for such a large city, Paris devotes much of it's area to green areas, and I saw the French very inculcated in the culture of jogging and walking.
Luxembourg Garden ended with great quality, our third day on the City of Light. It was ordered in 1615 by Maria de Medici, wife of Henry IV. Expect many visitors, both local and tourists, all on a single mission: enjoying the sun!
In the center of the large garden there's an octagonal lake, that serves as center stage for dozens of iron chairs available to all. Besides all the obvious natural attractions scattered through the gardens, there are also several statues of French Queens, the Luxembourg Museum (Museum of Contemporary Art), a School of Apiculture and La Orangerie (well known for various exibits of Art).
It is the ideal place to feel like a Frenchman.
