Le Jardin du Luxembourg is one of the best gardens in Paris, and so it's worth visiting in it's own right. However, over the next few months you can also see a photo exhibition on display at the gardens, by photographer Michael St Maur Sheil. The exhibition takes a look at World War I, through photos of what remains in todays landscapes.
To give you an idea...photos include what remains of trenches, weapons, forts, mine craters, and of course, the cemeteries. Some stunning photography, and it's free.
There is also a giant walk-on map that gives you a quick history lesson on the movements of the World War I front lines.
The map can be found in the northern part of the garden, and the photo exhibition is mounted on the outer fence of the gardens, on the northern perimeter.
