The Luxembourg chair: icon of Parisian spring time
A place many tourists love in Paris is the Jardin du Luxembourg in the Latin Quarter. I do too as I went to school and university just by it.
And when spring comes, it is the most romantic place in the entire world (well the Parisians think so ;-)!).
The picture on the left was taken by my photographer friend Paul Bertin.
I think he captures what the whole place is about!
The original chairs were very heavy and the originals were changed for a lighter version.
The good news for romantics is that Le Prince jardinier bought all the remaining originals and restored them. A bit of pure magic saved by an admirable lover of quality.Of course buying the originals has a unique charm (here) but if you want a broader set, today the chairs are being reedited by Fermob who have developed a full range of colors and additional items - tables, drink trolleys....
It's alright for some! Enjoy ;)
