Jardin des Tuileries and Beyond...

After breakfast on our final morning in Paris, we wandered down to the gardens next to the Louvre.

We had warm memories of picnicking in these gardens with Vivynne, Tony, Ariana and Max back in 2005 and taking photos of the kids (plus at least one big kid named Jimmy) with the statues such as The Three Graces.

Classy as Always

Luckily the weather was mild for December and we had a lovely day just wandering around together. On the bridge near Notre Dame, we saw an insane amount of love locks. Paris has had incredible problems with damage to bridges, but this area was next to the bridge, so presumably not creating as big of a hazard. 

We had to laugh, however, when we saw some of the locks. If the whole point of a love lock was to throw away the key to symbolize unbreakable love, why are there combination locks?
