There was a threat of rain and high winds today and the Square des Batignolles was closed because of the risk of falling tree branches.
 |
| The Parc Martin Luther King was open. It is quite new and the trees are not mature enough to have falling branches. The parc is very well used and this will become even more so when the immense development is completed. |
We walked up to Monceau Parc which was not closed, stopping on the way to admire the work on the Banque de France building onthe Boulevard de Malsherbes. It is magnificent.

| The detail is amazing |
We wandered a little off the beaten track in Monceau and found an ancient plane tree that was planted in 1814 - it is 203 years old and still counting.

| There were three green parrots exploring the nooks and crannies in this wonderful tree |

The New Years Eve celebration was at Aux Iles Marquises - more about this later.
