And By The Way...; The Picpus Cemetery - Jacqueline Donnelly tells us about a hidden spot in the 12th arrondissement.

Image of the Week; Jardin des Tuileries - looking west toward the Musée du Louvre. The gardens were created in the 16th century at the pleasure of Catherine de Médicis to accompany the Palais des Tuileries. The Palais was burned during the Commune in 1871, but the gardens survived and on a splendid summer day you can even go sailing. Copyright (c) 1996 Norman Barth
