France: A tour of playgrounds
So, a family vacation to France with 2 toddlers is quite a bit different than what you would expect from a childless vacation. We had a great time and made a lot of memories, but it was a lot less fancy dinners and museums and sightseeing and a lot more sandwiches and parks and slides.
Here - is a photo essay of France - the playgrounds… Starring Sam and Rosie:
First - Parc de Monceau in Paris (and a playdate with a mommy friend that I met via the internet)
Then - the Carousel de la Tour Eiffel:
Then - the playground in the Jardin des Tuleries, outside the Louvre in Paris:
Then, off to Vendome and the electric carousel:
And the Parc Ronsard, also in Vendome:
We also played on the old swingset at our Hotel/Inn/B&B place, Moulin de la Plaine (with an audience of donkeys):
And we found a really cool little playground right along the river in the tiny town of Troo, France:
And lastly, the awesome playground at the Jardin du Luxembourg on our last day in Paris before flying home:
Did ya notice how awesome all the parks were? They were not the usual big plastic monstrosity things we have around here. They were a little old school - mostly metal and wood still - but really unique and so much fun!
And there you have it - France: A tour of Playgrounds. Stay tuned for our next vacation…
