Carrefour des Cascades, allee de Longchamp, Bois du Boulogne, Paris. Across from the waterfall is La Grande Cascade, an elegant restaurant where Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor once hosted their wedding dinner. It features a Napoleon III pavilion and Belle Epoch furnishings.

Just gorgeous. What a pretty place to stop and read and dream.

I've never explored that part of Paris. The closest I've come is The French Open Tennis grounds. It looks really lovely.

Splendid photos! I think I would be taking a walk there often if I lived there.

Oh, I'm in love with that waterfall! And nice brisk walk or an amble? Which is it! Worth going everyday!

The photo behind the waterfall is dreamy.
I think I might walk there everyday, just because.

I would love to build a floating home beneath
that waterfall:)
There is a gorgeous waterfall near
Whistler ~ called Shannon Falls ~ surrounded
by breathtaking evergreen ~ I love to walk
in the woods surrounding it ~
as I feel so small and the gust of
nature is so great and magnificent ~
your photos really capture this beauty ~
with the great size and gorgeous perspective:)

I am always charmed by water. This looks great, especially the one taken from behind :-) And you say 10 minutes from our appartment? Lucky you.

How good that water would feel rolling off my sore muscles:) I love these photos. Thanks for sharing. Did David get wet...or does he have an unbelievable zoom?
