Paris: gardens

My favorite detail of the gardens in Paris was the scattering of green metal chairs (in side, arm, and lounge variations!) at random throughout the gardens. You could walk through and enjoy the plants, and just as easily sit and enjoy a conversation or the general atmosphere. I loved the flexibility that chairs offered instead of your traditional park bench (though there were a few of these, too).
