This is a Parisian tradition, not only for tourists, but for locals too, as you probably know. Junior has played with these wooden sailboats often since he turned 4 years old. What a magical place, you are right, and your beautiful, sunny pictures do them justice. I love to watch the kids run around the fountain as I imagine little Parisian children doing the exact same thing during la Belle Epoque. Merci for this happy story.
