Dropping in was pretty simple, I decided to come by a few days earlier for a schedule but you can find it online. They have a crossfit class almost every half hour past. Had to sign a waiver and pay my drop in fee (25 euros...ouch. Wished they had the option to buy a shirt instead...but they were out of stock of any tanks or shirts anyway) The front desk actually held onto my backpack because I didn't have a lock, I thought that was nice. They had a women's locker room (I assume a men's somewhere, too) that had lockers, showers, and a hairdryer (saver!) Anyway, I joined in on the WOD. There were two coaches. The main lead spoke exclusively in French but I saw the WOD written in front earlier so I knew what to expect and it wasn't that hard to follow along. It was a bit easier because this day's WOD utilized rows, burpees, plyo boxes, and running. Through the WOD the coaches did come up to me to ask if I need any assistance. And many other students were nice as well. I got a good sweat, took a picture with the extremely nice coaches, showered, and went on my way. I cannot recall if the showers had soap or not, I brought my own. No towels were available though. Now the space could be an issue. The ceilings were quite lower than I'm used to and you're restricted with some space. I had to move around to do the burpees and move my plyo box so my partner wouldn't hit her head (she was quite taller than me) on a ceiling beam. I have no idea how they can maneuver a snatch class with the space. Nevertheless, this was a nice experience. Glad I was able to drop by.

Visiting Paris on holiday, I found myself in serious need of some stretching & centering (esp…read more because of the 'typical' sized hotel room in which we stayed.) I chose Big Apple mostly b/c of proximity & class time (fri 6:30pm). I easily found the class in a non-descript bldg off an alley. The studio is clean, neat & stocked with all props. Mat rental is 1€. There is a shower too I believe. The teacher Tatiana checked my boyfriend and I in and was extremely pleasant & spoke perfect English. Class was not cheap but the level of teaching was commensurate. Although the other students (only 5 of us in total but it was August holiday) were tiny, very fit & clearly seasoned yogis, my boyfriend with little experience (but fit) and myself (a therapeutic yoga teacher with many injuries) were still able to follow-along with a bit of neck twisting to see. Class was 95% beautiful French w/a few English cues, for us I assume. Expect a serious vinyasa class for moderate-advanced practitioners. This is NOT a class for those with injuries/illness unless you can safely modify. We are still sore & achy (from muscle pain) 4 days later!!! Tatiana taught a head & shoulder-stand with assistance. The moderate pace was very nice with time to move carefully but definitely a tough workout.

The facility is nice with lots of fields - fairly well insulated against the cold (who knows for when it will be hot...) and it costs 100 EUR/hour to rent one. The locker rooms and showers are clean with lockers where you can put your own lock. No water pressure though... It was really in the middle of nowhere before but now it is only 7 minutes walking from the Metro Front Populaire - but bring directions because without them you will never find the place - it is in the middle of a bleak industrial zone.

We went to the Jardin du Luxeumbourg on a scorching hot July day, and it was still a pleasure to…read morevisit, a beautiful park full of wonders, especially for the children. It reminded me of Rome's Villa Borghese and does in fact have Italian roots. The garden was built by a Medici, back in the 1600s. We were there for a little over an hour, my family, my brother's family, and my friend who lives in Paris. We'd agreed to meet up in the garden, and I figured out when we got there that we'd have to get more specific. We entered from opposite ends and converged at a spectacular central fountain, where dozens of children were racing toy boats using sticks that they thrust in the water. (My children wanted the sticks, and I declined to rent the boats just so they could thrash each other.) We walked around for a bit and ended up at the Ludo Jardin, a large contained playground with lovely equipment and an idyllic atmosphere. There was a small fee for entry, not ideal for a quick visit, but definitely worthwhile. Our three-year-old walked in and went straight for a sprinkler, where he spent the next half hour getting absolutely soaked. Our six-year-old did a little more exploring, though to be honest, I didn't pay close attention to what he was doing. After a while, both boys noticed ice cream for sale and asked for a treat. We indulged them and watched them slather themselves with chocolate ice cream and rainbow popsicle. When it was time to go, our three-year-old objected vigorously, insisting, "I didn't get to play!" He meant that he'd only splashed around in the sprinklers and had a popsicle, and hadn't explored the depths of the playground. I knew the feeling--I'd experienced it myself leaving the d'Orsay earlier that day, all those paintings and whole exhibit halls I'd missed. I do hope we get to come back to the Luxembourg Garden.

Besides the layout and beauty of the Garden itself, it is a wonderful way to experience the softer side of Paris. Despite April overcast and rainy weather, walking through the Park was uplifting as always. Tulips greeted us when we entered through the Gay-Lussac entrance. Once in the Park, we found more flowers and trees in bloom. Beyond Les Voiliers du Luxembourg -- an octagonal fountain for sail boats at the focal center if the Gaeden -- we walked through a canopy formed by rows of chestnut trees. It was great staying within a few blocks of Le Jardin du Luxembourg and visiting daily.

The restaurant affords a gorgeous 360-degree panoramic view of the city and is especially lovely on a clear and sunny day. Galaries' rooftop patio is one of those secret gems that only a few people know about...it's evident coz there're swarms of people shoving each other just 1 level downstairs...if they knew of this huge patio, they'd be ALL over it. The photo opps are phenomenal. But you're pretty much paying for the view here. Food is completely overrated and extremely overpriced. I had the shrimp dish which came with 3 artistically placed shrimps, a small blob of rice...for 26 euros. Ummmm. I had to have another lunch after this one. I'd recommend hanging out here for coffee...a few drinks...maybe dessert...but definitely not lunch. You'll be disappointed
