The « Petit Montrouge »

On a sunny Sunday, stroll through the Petit-Montrouge district to discover the small cobbled streets.

A few steps away, you can see the observatory dressed in white.

Admire the Haussmannian façades on the Boulevard Saint Jacques.

Just after the small square Saint Jacques…

…marvelling at the flowery side street on this spring day.

Discover some nesting boxes…

…which stand out on sunny facades.

Contemplating a small laurel, a promise of new flowers to come.

Enjoy the pink and red camellias along the cycle path.

Enjoy the small saffron-coloured spots of crocuses and marigolds scattered across the lawn.

Look up and see a new series of birdhouses.

Take a step back to admire the green-paved driveway.

Look again at the facades and their alignments.

Open onto the Place Denfert Rochereau.

Find the famous lion that dominates the square.

Walk around the square and look at it from all angles.

Enjoy seeing the different boulevards and avenues that converge on it.

Be surprised to see a brick facade that gives some colour to the whole.

In the glare of the sun, admire the sign at the entrance to the metro.

Take a break in the sun on rue Daguerre.

Enjoy the colourful stalls of the rue Gassendi.

At the corner of the street, smell a small mimosa in bloom.

Contemplate the beautiful facade opposite.

Stop for a few minutes at the corner of the passage tenaille.

In the window of the library, marvel at all the bookmarks forgotten between the leaves of the books.

Go out in front of the Town Hall and enter the Ferdinand Brunot square.

Enjoying the trees in bloom,

the mimosa in full explosion,

lawns dotted with flowers.

Be fascinated by all the crocuses that are blooming here and there.

Looking at the façade of the town hall through the flowering trees.

Being amazed by the scent of spring.

Return via Rue du Commandeur.

Distinguish a small bird drinking trough made on a tree trunk.

Observe the small hidden gardens.

To revel in a small patch of blue sky.

Return to the cobbled streets.

Be amazed by the gardens between light and shade in this little corner of paradise.
