Gardens of France not in Paris are of every conceivable variety, from the seaside splendors of the Riviera resorts to the surprise garden of the former bishop's palace at Coutances, with an unforgettable two-way view, down to a winding valley and up to the massive cathedral lantern. The Pare J.-J. Rousseau, at Ermenonville, some 25 miles northeast of Paris, is of such special character that it was recently purchased by the Touring Club de France. Once the tract consisted merely of 2150 acres of sand and marshes but it was transformed by the Marquis de Girardin into a magic 18th-century garden and here Rousseau spent the last thirty-four days of his life and then lay buried on the lie aux Peupliers in the tree-bordered lake until his remains were removed to the Pantheon in Paris.
The Selective Shopper on the Prowl Paris is a shopper's heaven, especially if the shopper is on the distaff side. It is an expensive heaven, in these days, notably excepting perfumes, which are far cheaper in Paris than in America, but the cost doesn't seem to frighten tourists away. Paris est toujours Paris. |
