“To me, photography is an art of observation. It's about finding something interesting in an ordinary place... I've found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.” Elliott Erwitt

La partie de l'avenue de l'Observatoire comprise entre le boulevard du Montparnasse et les Jardins du Luxembourg héberge deux jardins : celui baptisé Robert Cavelier-de-la-Salle, au Nord, et celui qui porte le nom de Marco-Polo, au Sud.
Ces jardins sont situés sur la partie méridionale de l'ancien château de Vauvert, édifié la le Roi Robert le Pieux, fils de Hugues Capet. L'enceinte, réputée être habitée par le diable, sera désertée. Elle donnera naissance à l'expression "envoyer au diable Vauvert".
Saint-Louis attribuera les lieux maudits aux Chartreux qui les transformeront en couvent en 1257. Ils seront chassés sous la Révolution, en 1790, et le château sera détruit. Les Jardins du Luxembourg étendront leur emprise en 1796 en annexant une partie des terrains. L'autre partie donnera naissance à l'avenue de l'Observatoire dont la largeur doublera en 1840.
"JARDIN MARCO POLO"

Mom lived her life for love of friends and family,
Neither asking for nor wanting a return.
Her days became a sunlit homily,
With others' joy her joy and main concern.
When we were ill, she also became sick;
When we were cut, she, too, began to bleed.
Of our oil lamp she was the wick,
Drawing her bright flame from our need.
Some say that such behavior's out of date:
That self-fulfillment is the way to grace.
But Mom, without much choice, then chose her fate,
Finding greater truth in an embrace.
She lives on in the sparkle in our eyes:
Laughing, quiet, gentle, loving, wise.
