In the very heart of Paris, there is a peaceful square called Place Dauphine. People come here to read, relax and find a moment of calm. Cafe terraces face a small garden of pink flowered trees. It is hard to believe this tranquil place is located right between two of the biggest tourist draws in the city, Notre Dame and the Louvre. Paris has so many wonderful green spaces, and I love walking through this square whenever I have a chance. I am a firm believer that being near nature is good for the soul, even if it is only for a few moments.
