Some very nice pictures we have here!

To think that nowadays the Bois de Boulogne is more or less Paris' red light district...

Ah, don't we miss the old days? (Even if I wasn't even born then)

If you are bored: try to spot the politically incorrect furniture (details).

Good lord, all over the world, you're showing your age. The Bois has always had a reputation for, how shall I put this, persons of negotiable affection.

From 'The Man Who Broke the Bank at Monte Carlo' (1892):
"As I walk along the Bois Boulogne
With an independent air
You can hear the girls declare
'He must be a Millionaire.'
You can hear them sigh and wish to die,
You can see them wink the other eye
At the man who broke the bank at Monte Carlo"
