A Visit to the Luxembourg Gardens in Paris

This ten-minute video shows you around the Luxembourg Gardens in Paris, France, which is arguably the city's most beautiful park. The gardens, located in the Latin Quarter of the city, belong to the French Senate, which meets in the Luxembourg Palace at the north end of the gardens. This video doesn't really do the park justice; it's much prettier in real life.
I'm not at all pleased with this video, which is rather incoherently edited, but it will have to do until I can produce a better one.
This video has been edited slightly for KZbin. An American high-school band is seen playing briefly in the video, and I've removed the audio from that sequence. There is currently a serious problem with copyright trolls on KZbin, who fraudulently claim copyright on just about any music used by anyone, even if there is no infringement. Rather than deal with the trolls, I just removed the music the band is playing (a Henry Mancini medley and some other stuff). The "director's cut" that I've archived has the music, though (not available online).
The band seen in the video is the Stevens High School band, from Rapid City, South Dakota. Apparently they were giving a concert in the gardens on the day I was shooting, which is a well-established tradition for many visiting high-school bands from the U.S.

Thank you for your time, effort and energy on these videos. Your effort brings joy to the world. Many people cannot go to these places yet they "get to go" through your videos. The world should give you an award. Thank you. Thank you. Merci.

When things seemed so easy, and normal, predictable. These videos are much appreciated.

[@wallykaspars9700]

Nice to see a nice park that is respected by most people because they don't leave trash everywhere.

Of all the things I've discovered on the internet, your videos remain my absolute favorite. I enjoy your commentary as well as the sights and the sounds. I'm deaf in one ear and 50% gone in the other, but I'm getting a cochlear implant in one ear, so I'll be able to hear more of the sounds of Paris, something I'm looking forward to very much. Thanks for the gift of these videos-- I hope we see more of them. Keep up the first-rate work!

Beautiful. Thank you! Wish France all the best!

[@cbeard6980]

Lovely how you posted this with no commentary. So peaceful and beautiful.

[@jedi451000]

Thank you for uploading such a fabulous video. My wife and I are travelling to Paris in a few weeks and I had made a note of visiting The Luxembourg Garden, but we definitely will be now after seeing this. Again a big thank you

[@elenasalas5819]

Thank you for your video, nicely done. I felt like I was walking along with you. What a lovely way to spend an afternoon in Paris.

Ernest Hemingway wrote to a friend in 1950, "If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life, it stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast." I was lucky enough to have been a student at the Sorbonne in 1962-63 when I was 21-22. Hemingway was right; the experience has stayed with me ever since, influencing my life in countless ways. Thank you for these remarkable videos. They illustrate both changes as well as many of the enduring qualities of this beautiful city.

I watched your videos thoroughly before I made my first visit to Paris in May 2014. Now I revisit them to remember. Thank you for such a pleasure!

THANK YOU for all your lovely videos of Paris. You are an "angel" and your work brings great joy to people. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Merci. Merci. Merci! Please know how much joy your work brings to this world.

[@richr5874]

Thank you for posting. I haven't been to Paris in four years and this brings back good memories. I used to run around the perimeter of the jardin every morning. Merci.

[@kiqw]

Without a doubt, this is my favorite spot in Paris. Thanks for sharing.

[@judalonmanes2869]

Thank you! A long time ago, I lived near the Blvd. Montparnasse entrance, and your time and kindness allowed me to relive happy memories!

I love love your videos..no fancy music to distract the viewers form the real beauty of Paris..thank you so much for us to enjoy them immensely! :)

[@angelecammarata1288]

Merci pour votre regard sur le jardin du Luxembourg qui est très véridique pour l'avoir beaucoup fréquenté les vues sont très belles aussi. 🙏 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

[@Mxsmanic]

Merci!

[@Mxsmanic]

I think the problem is that a lot of people just take their favorite song from their iPod and add it to the video, whether it matches the subject matter or not. Background music works better because it's designed for the purpose. But people seem to prefer no music so I don't put any in. Nothing but authentic original traffic noise!

[@wyattfelipe1458]

Dont know if anyone cares but if you are bored like me during the covid times then you can stream pretty much all the latest series on InstaFlixxer. I've been streaming with my girlfriend for the last couple of weeks xD

[@shilohjeffrey1269]

@Wyatt Felipe definitely, I've been watching on Instaflixxer for months myself =)

It is a joy to look at your videos of Paris, my utmost wish is to visit her.. when I do I will feel as if I have been there and have come back, thanks to you. How can you stand so much beauty and elegance?

Thanks! People have told me that they don't want music so I don't add any. It's also cheaper if I don't use music because then I don't have to buy any licenses!

Wonderful video of Luxembourg. I shot some footage there in winter for a low budget reportage that i will be showing on Ecuador National TV, would you authorize me too use three short clips to show how it look like in summer?

[@rickytomlin2166]

I proposed to my girlfriend here in March of this year! Lovely park!

[@watermelon520b]

I agree, thanks for no music, and I LOVE music, but...it seems like people always happen to chose the ugliest, most annoying/depressing/boring song there ever was. If I want some music to go with a vid, I'll just play some myself. BTW, your videos are really beautiful - on this really quiet summer night, I can imagine being in Paris again... :-)

Apparently it happens in other cities, like New York. It's kind of hard to hide a chair under your coat, but maybe people in NYC don't ask questions.

[@Mmefatoom]

HAHA ! something that ridiculous would happen here in the states lol .the people here never cease to amaze me . but hey ,as long as no one gets killed bcuz of a chair. by the way , thank you so much for this wonderful video . i would love to visit paris some day and these videos take me there whenever i want (: God bless u (:

[@peterchristianmanstein1106]

Please some more videos: Le parc des buttes chaumont , le parc montsouris et le petit parc de belleville.

[@Mxsmanic]

I have one already for the Buttes Chaumont, but not the others yet.

[@peterchristianmanstein1106]

Mxsmanic Visit first Montsouris! This is a very interresting quartier with the cité universitaire en face. There are also very noble small streets with even more noble houses!

[@Mxsmanic]

Paris seems to inspire a lot of proposals. I hope yours got a positive reply!

[@ThePayola123]

There should be a Hot Dog Pizza and Taco stand next to the Statue of Liberty. The sign over it could read, 'à l'Américain' or 'Chez Américain.'

[@muhsinulambia3844]

nice place

[@Mmefatoom]

i love how you said that people ask u about stealing the chairs. LOL ! how do u steal a chair from a park ? imagine, someone walking the streets of Paris with a stolen chair. haha ! "where'd u get that chair?" "i stole it from the Luxembourg gardens (;" HAHAHA !

Is the Liberty statue still in the Gardens?

[@danguid2753]

The one that has seen in the video that was there since 1906, she was moved to the Musée d'Orsay, following the theft of the torch. A more recent replica was placed on the base in 2013.
