This small public garden is located behind what I believe is former Récollets convent, the building above. More about its history by clicking here.------------
Ce petit jardin se situe derrière ce que je pense être l'ancien couvent des Récollets. Plus d'infos au sujet de son histoire en cliquant ici.

I have never been here or did not know about the garden. I will have to check it out the next time I'm there!!!
Looks like a wonderful relaxing place to sit.
One of the things I liked about Paris was the public gardens ... so I think this, too, is a wonderful addition to Versailles. People need green space and a place to sit and rest or meditate!
I like the gate!

I like the look of the walkway.
Hi Ciel,
It's been so long since I've done much with blogging. I just want to say how much I love your new format and the music. Really nice. I've not done much with my blog but...maybe in the spring I'll get inspired. thanks.
A pleasant oasis. I like the iron gate. It reminds me a bit of the metal Art Deco entrances to the Metro in Paris.
Bet it's beautiful when in bloom!
Ciel, you will need to return when it is in bloom. For now, a rest on one of those benches would be welcome.
I love the architectural details! Winter is over in Versailles already?
Bon weekend
Charming as always. It looks quaint and elegant at the same time.
Interesting history--as history can be. MB
I enjoyed going back to learn a little about the history and finding another architectural find that I had not seen earlier. I could not tell that it boasted a blue door, but some apparently could see that. I learned that it is blue through the comments. 27 comments led me to a picture of Antoinette in blue. I found that intriguing. The convent is very imposing. I cannot imagine what life must have been like for these poor women who had such a small garden to frequent when needed. Life was harsh indeed!
A Paris, il y a aussi un ancien couvent des Récollets, entre la gare de l'est et le canal St Martin.Il a été restauré et accueille maintenant des artistes et des chercheurs.
A nice garden and a wonderful sign!
I love so much the second composition with the gate! Very interesting place, thanks for the link!

I like the metal work... and its grey-blue color. Charming little jardin.
Looks fine for a nice stroll with the camera.
Petit jardin secret, plein de charme et bien caché.Plein de bancs vides.Un passage discret pour y accéder..tout ce que j'aime!
Plein de choses à te raconter; Patience!:)
That gate would certainly lure me inside. What a lovely place to take a few moments of quiet.
I like this a bunch. The walkway is very inviting and the fence and building is very interesting.
Beautiful entrance for a lovely garden, no matter how small. . . must have been refreshing for the monkss who lived at the monastery.
I love the building in the background of the first shot. I would also love to see the garden in bloom. Isn't it amazing how gates and doorways just seem to draw us in?
Beautiful!
Looks like a great place and I like the building and the sign at the entrance.
Nice entrance and cobblestone. I'm with Jack - return in the spring!
très paisible endroit; il y a des verriers aussi.
Things are turning green! Spring is coming...
