Pavillon Davioud in the Luxembourg Gardens by Beausoleil
The Senate welcomes, free of charge, in the Davioud pavilion of the Jardin du Luxembourg, in July and August, exhibitions of paintings, sculptures or photographs, subject to the assumption by the exhibitors of the costs of the partitions that the Senate installs for welcome them and insurance. Exhibitors are allocated a space of 90 m² for a period of 14 days under their sole responsibility. Nearly a million bees are foraging around the seventeen hives of the Rucher du Luxembourg (rucher meaning apiary). Each year they produce about 450 pounds of honey which is collected and sold every Autumn at the Orangerie du Luxembourg just a few minutes walk up the garden path. The hives have a color code on them not just for human benefit but the bees will associate with these so that they go back to their specific hive, and although these are the modern beehives, there are historical ones called skeps preserved within the Pavillon Davioud, which is where the beekeepers office, the school and the honey extraction centre are located. Not many people realize that bees do need water so there is a water fountain in the same style as the beehives designed specifically for the bees. It’s located in the middle of the enclosure with all the hives surrounding. Bees are thriving in Paris due to a policy of not using pesticides within any public gardens or parks.

Sculpture "Les Joies de la Famille" by Horace Daillion by Beausoleil
The Luxembourg Gardens are located in the 6th arrondissement of Paris, created beginning in 1612 by Marie de' Medici, the widow of King Henry IV of France, for a new residence she constructed, the Luxembourg Palace. The gardens are filled with sculpture, formal and informal gardens, activities for children and adults, a large pond, fountains and the French Senat. You can always find something to do in the gardens from free concerts on Sundays to marvelous art exhibits in the Luxembourg Museum. We've seen Tai Chi and chess, pony rides for children, several of the concerts, kids sailing boats on the pond, tennis, joggers galore and several playgrounds and summer puppet shows.

Luxembourg Gardens - Pond by Beausoleil
We often walked through the Luxembourg Gardens to wherever we were going that day. It is so much cooler and more fun than walking on the streets. It's always bustling with activity from children sailing rental boats in the pond to chess matches and ping pong and the occasional Tai Chi class on the borders. If we're tired, we claim a bench; if we're in a hurry, we rush through. Most of the time we leisurely stroll through enjoying all the activity.

Concert in the Luxembourg Gardens by Beausoleil
Every Sunday there is a concert of some sort in the Luxembourg Gardens so we always wander over to see what is happening. This was a community chorus and they seemed to be having a grand time.
