Looks like a nice place for a nap. Very lush.
ReplyDeleteI would like to sit there with a book, doing nothing (the book just to set the tone).
ReplyDeleteYou could say farniente in French? I love it!
Ha! You have the evidence! (I LOVE shots of people who don't suspect that you've captured them with a camera.)
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a wonderful place to sit on a bench and read the newspaper, or a book.
ReplyDeleteLooks like just the place for a lunch nap, or for lunch and then a nap, for for lunch only, or for merely a nap!
ReplyDeleteI think one could sit there and drink in that scenery!
I like this place, so green and so nice.
ReplyDeleteWhat a splendid place to rest one's eyes. MB
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous place for a nap! :-)
ReplyDelete@Jacob: yes, you're right, there are several possible combinations!
ReplyDeleteMy eyes are almost blinded by the GREEN. We don't see as much green in the desert of Arizona.
ReplyDeleteLovely and inviting. This looks like a great place to spend an enjoyable day.

It evokes childhood memories of going on such paths with my parents... A special way to spend a Sunday or any day for that matter.
ReplyDeleteBut you must have a nap after a traditional French Sunday lunch! It is a marathon of pleasure.
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty and lush setting. I don't think I could close my eyes in such a place. Though I could get VERY relaxed.
ReplyDeleteThis is really beautiful. I love the little person in the huge green world. The colors are great!
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't mind napping away engulfed in all that green.
ReplyDeletevery peaceful looking place.
ReplyDeleteWhat a verdant lush!
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful photo, so lush and inviting. A perfect place to nap, read, write, stroll, draw and so much more!

Great place! So full of green:) Perfect for relax:)
ReplyDeleteThe perfect place to read:)
ReplyDeleteWhat an exuberant vegetation. It must be difficult to stay awake on one of those benches.
ReplyDeleteI lived at L'Orangerie du Domaine de Madame Élisabeth (when it was still a home) 26, rue du Champ Lagarde ~ VERSAILLES while going to school in Varsailles in 1979 - 1980. The garden was always such a quiet oasis and I will always remember the time spent there.
ReplyDeleteC'est drôle! Moi et mon mec étions dans le parc le même jour, et il a fait une photo du même endroit; on a vu aussi la même personne assise. :)
