On our last day in Paris, I googled "figs in Paris" and was rewarded with the name in the topic. Even better...it was a 5 minute walk from where we were staying (Ile St. Louis in the center of the city).
The street is partly residential and partly commercial. It is only 1-2 winding blocks long, oh but what great blocks they are!. I spotted about a dozen fig trees with sizes ranging from medium to humongous. Most had figs that were just about to ripen. I wish I knew the history of this location but was too busy and too language challenged to ask anyone.I walked around and around taking pictures, fondling the branches, oohing and aahing until I noticed some of the residents looking at me in a more peculiar than usual.Anyway it was a great capper to a great fig vacation.
As for the rest of Paris, I've already mentioned the huge fig in Montmartre but I also found another huge one in the northern Marais region of Paris in "Square George Cain" the day before the Fig Street discovery.
If anyone will be visiting Paris, simply google the 3 locations I've indicated and you will not miss them.
Enjoy the pictures.
