La grotte du Parc Balbi

Last week I took you to Balbi Park and summarised its history. Here is the grotto, typical of 18th century gardens.

La semaine dernière je vous emmenais au Parc Balbi et en expliquais sommairement l'histoire. En voici la grotte, typique des jardins du XVIIIè siècle.

  2. Looks quite nice but I'd be afraid it's infested with mosquitoes and alligators!

  8. Jacob, I don't think they have alligators in France. That makes this so much more appealing! I can imagine sitting here listening to *nothing* :-)

  13. Not far from here there's a similar pond, where a heron used to live. We haven't seen him for a while now, possibly he went to the South of France or Italy for holidays...
    God bless you!
