The Jardin d'Acclimatation
- Richard Erickson -
The Jardin d'Acclimatation is
a park just for kids.
Napoléon III sold or gave the Bois de
Boulogne to Paris, but
nobody wants to mention the Jardin d'Acclimatation.
Ric shows us something of what it looks like today.
La Salpêtrière -
Thirza Vallois -
When Princess Diana died on 31st of August 1998, her final
journey from the Ritz to La Salpêtrière had a further symbolic dimension,
for La Salpêtrière is not just any Parisian
hospital. It was built to shelter, and to shelter only, the most wretched
outcasts and rejects of society. That Princess Diana should have died there
was particulary poignant, as in recent years she had decided to
devote her time precisely to some of the less privileged members of
society.
(This piece is excerpted from Thirza Vallois' book Around and About Paris.)
