Jardins du Palais Royal - Paris - a photo on Flickriver

            Created at the request of Cardinal de Richelieu in 1633, the Palais Royal and its gardens were home to royal families until the building of Versailles. Prestigious but peaceful, the gardens are surrounded by a wonderful architectural ensemble and feature contemporary sculpture by Buren and Bury.
Today, the garden is made up of rows of lime trees, two long lawns and a fountain.The Buren columns, named after their designer, are situated in the courtyard, near to the Ministry of Culture. This work of art caused such a  polemic that work was interrupted. Finally, François Léotard, Minister of Culture and Communication in 1986, relaunched the project which was completed in 1995. Make a wish by throwing a coin onto the column. If you succeed your wish should come true.
