Paris again

We went for a walk in the Marais, to see a new garden and an old ash factory. The garden, Jardin des Rosiers has been made open to the public. There is part of the Philippe Auguste wall [1200], an ancient fig with its limbs propped and a community garden being made. The Ash Factory which was created to handle scrap left after jewellery manufacture, now houses an enormous Uniqlo shop but still has the chimney in the middle of the building and an exhibition and videos on the lower ground floor.
