Wednesday, our last free day before the trade show, we walked most of the day in the Bois de Bologne. The Frommer's gives it 2 stars and says that its the greatest park in Europe. I don't know about that. If a city has a lovely park like this one could be, it should keep its lakes and streams relatively clean and flowing. Through streets should be limited and trails maintained. There were so many cars parked, bumper to bumper, it often seemed like a parking warehouse where city dwellers store their cars when not in use. There were some narrow, one-way roads so packed with cars, presumably taking a short cut, that it was almost comic. But we had a nice day--lots of dogs and happy kids to watch. On the way back to our hotel, we stopped to visit an old city cemetery that had much quieter streets!
