Invitation à la danse

Dancing on a Sunday afternoon

At the north end of Bordeaux is le Jardin Public. The park occupies over ten hectares of land and was built in 1756 as a classic French garden, but later transformed into an English one. In addition to 3,000 species of plant life, le jardin is a major cultural center for les Bordelais. People come to the park pour faire un pique-nique et se promener (stroll around). Last Sunday, the sounds of Blues and American rock could be heard throughout le jardin. A DJ was blasting music (all American) for a couple dozen dancers.
