The Jardin du Luxembourg features two noteworthy fountains. The most famous one is the Fontaine de Medicis, a romantic baroque fountain designed in 1624. It is located at the end of a small pond at the Fontaine de Medicis, Jardins du Luxembourg, Paris Fontaine de Medicis northeast side of the park. A central sculpture group shows the Greek mythological figure of Polyphemus who watches the lovers Acis and Galatea. It is flanked by allegorical figures depicting the rivers Seine and Rhône.
(Hard to believe, but I found out the name of this one on my own, which means it could be wrong).
You are correct! Tres bien, mon ami.

Dites merci!
Je crois que c’est une belle photographie.
Parlez-vous Francais – Steve?
Combien de fois avez-vous été à Paris ?

Ouais, j’aime bien la photographie!
5 years of French is public school for excellent teachers… but I’m very rusty (oxidé??) after 30 years of disuse.
I was in Paris four times in 1977 and 1978, always for 2 or 3 days on the way to or coming back from meetings in Germany or Switzerland when I worked for GE. It was love at first sight. After my first trip, I acted as tour guide for two GE buddies on the next two trips. I feel as if I could still fly out tonight and do a good photo-tour.
Also, I took my wife to Paris for a week in 1980 for our honeymoon. I was so excited to show her everything that I dragged her all over the place – she threatened to divorce me after the 2nd day if I didn’t add in some time to realax. It all worked out, though – our 30th anniversary is coming up later this month.
Here’s a little story of my first trip to Paris: http://therosenblog.blogspot.com/2004/12/my-first-time-in-paris.html unfortunately, it’s on my old blog, to which I lost and was unable to regain access. The photo that should go with it is here: http://www.usefilm.com/image/644952.html
