Relaxing in the Jardin de Tuileries
By traveltripz on Mar 31, 2007 in Paris, France, Europe
Just down the road from our Hotel was the Garden of Tuileries. A large area approx 25 hectares I believe, where Parisians can wander and sit to take in the beautiful statues and enjoy the evening atmosphere.
Its also a resting place for tourists who are tired out from taking in the beautiful city of Paris.
While strolling through the garden, taking in the sites, a young man called out to us “Hey you - American?” “No we responded - Australian”. He burst out laughing and called “I know - Paul Hogan - Crocodile Dundee - Put another shrimp on the barbie!”
So the Australian Tourist board advertising had paid off. 
We sat and relaxed for a short time, just people watching before setting off again to see the sculptor, Rodin’s house and works.
Parisian women are so elegant, the cut of their clothes helps of course. We felt positively scruffy in comparison.
