Le Prince Jardinier
Previously, I have mentioned Palais Royal, my most favorite spot in Paris, along with Concorde, the Tuileries, Jardin du Luxembourg…..maybe I should just go with, all of PARIS is my favorite spot! I don’t think anyone who knows me would argue with that.
Now that I got that off my chest, back to Palais Royal…and Le Prince Jardinier, a garden shop that brings “haute” to all things green thumb-ish. Created in 1995, this shop caters to creating a world of outdoor beauty with tools, containers, furniture, comfortable clothing as well as scented candles. Those are all good things and if you love to garden, this really needs to be on the top of your to-do list.
The real reason I am telling you about this place is because they sell these babies–replicas of the “Chaise Longue Palais Royal”: garden seating that you find in the Tuileries, Luxembourg and Palais Royal gardens. If you are fortunate enough to snag one of these on a sunny day and park yourself there for a few minutes or even hours, it is a memory worth creating. They are surprisingly comfortable and recline at just the perfect angle to catch some of those elusive rays of sunshine that make infrequent visits to this part of the world.
Iconic tradition does not come cheap–at 495 euros each, I don’t think that I’ll be replacing my deck furniture any time soon. So I guess I am just going to have to do the painful thing and spend more time sitting in one at Tuileries!
