Jardin du Luxembourg

This guide to the Jardin du Luxembourg in Paris follows a young, broke Ernest Hemingway in 1922, living nearby with his wife and infant son, who had worked out exactly when the park's policeman slipped away each afternoon. It also goes back three centuries to Marie de' Medici, the homesick regent who commissioned the garden as a piece of Florence transplanted to Paris and never lived to see it finished. Listen near the Medici Fountain, where both stories meet.
