Birdsong and passers-by in the Jardin du Luxembourg

Dec 19, 2022, 03:19 PM

Jardin du Luxembourg is one of the most beautiful parks in Paris and particularly so in spring when the many shades of green are a gorgeous canvas for brightly coloured flowers and rich blossom. 

Birds sing, people walk, some sit and observe. In this soundscape recording we hear gentle birdsong with Robin, Blackbird, Chaffinch, Eurasian Blackcap and Rose-ringed parakeets, as well as distant conversations and people walking along gravel paths. 

Recorded by Colin Hunter as part of the Cities and Memory Paris city sound guide.
