....petites tresors....!








This amazing building is situated on Avenue Van Dyck, (which happens to be an extension of one of the avenues that radiates from the Arc de Triomphe). It is also situated on the very edge of the beautiful Parc de Monceau. It is a breath-takingly beautiful building with so many wonderful details. Even the flower beds were manicured to perfection! I have no idea what the building is (public...? private...?) but I do know it was an absolute treasure to find.
I regard this as one of my 'petite tresors'.....one of those amazing finds along the way that you remember fondly once you have returned home.....'the small treasures of life'.

Parc de Monceau....








This is the absolutely beautiful C1770 'Parc de Monceau', it is a large park (..basicly in the centre of Paris..) but relatively untouched by tourists....seems a popular destination by the locals for lunch.
My photos manly show the amazing buildings which surround the park, the detail on these buildings are devine and as always the roses were at their 'very best'!!
We made several visits here during our 8 weeks in Paris....and needless to say, when next in Paris I'm sure this will be a definate destination!!
"Parc de Monceau" 58. Blvd de Courcelles 75008 Paris.
metro: Monceau
