On this day I randomly picked a region and we investigated it. We actually got a bit lucky as this region was one of the best parks in Paris (if not the best). It had museums, a philharmonic concert hall, forested and grassy areas, tons of local Parisians, and even a cooking challenge that we probably won!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the Science and Industry museum. We didn’t stop in, but got several pictures of the surroundings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This metal sphere can be seen from much of the park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quite possibly the best slide I’ve ever seen!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wow! What a thrill for a 3 year old LOL!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This a canal bisects the park into two halves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The park is filled with sculptures here and there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A metal reinforced awning that stretches for over a quarter mile providing shade to the pedestrians and bikers (of which there were many).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Buildings are scattered throughout the park, most with the same red color, and interesting industrial designs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The French love their carousels \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a play area for children. Looks like a good time! The wind turbines have seats and pedals at the base so kids can turn the blades. The entire area is threaded with tunnels and other fun features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a large open air space where people can congregate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This guy was great. He’s a breakdancer, but in his maybe late 50s. No head spinning or wild stuff here! Just core breakdancing techniques blaring the 80s breakdancing classics on his portable boombox.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
