The Little Squares
Of course Europe is well known for its famous array of grand squares which adorn most, if not all of the big cities. I have stood mouth agape in many of them in the course of my European holidays. But many of those same cities and indeed, the smaller cities, towns and villages have numerous "little" squares which are delightful places to sit and eat a crusty roll 'avec le fromage et le jambon' and people watch at the same time.Paris is especially renowned for its "little squares" which can be found in abaundance all over the city. One of my favourites in Paris is the Place de la Contrescarpe which can found right near the oft called "ancient" Rue Mouffetard in the 5 eme. If Rue Mouffetard is on your things to do list in Paris, be sure to take a few minutes to sit in this lovely little square and watch the world go by.
