Promenade #3: A Walk in the Park: Montparnasse and the Jardin du Luxembourg

Bonjour tout le monde!
Bonjour everyone! I went on my third walk today, and it was beautiful. I have decided that I love Paris so much when it is actually warm outside.
The walk started next to the Tour Montparnesse, one of the very few skyscrapers that Paris has. It ruined the ambiance so much that its twin was never built.

We then walked down a couple roads and made it to the statues of Afred Dreyfuss, a Jewish officer in the French army who was falsely convicted of treason.

Before going into the Jardin de Luxembourg, we ate delicious gelato at Amorino.

Then came the beautiful walk in the park, with views including the miniature Statue of Liberty, the beautiful palace for the French Senate, ponds and garden and the Fontaine Médicis.

We worked on homework and took a little siesta on the grass of the garden. It was a beautiful day.
À Bientôt,
