Fill in the blank:
The 8 ème's Parc Monceau is ...
A) a recently unearthed center of Roman conquest, revealing the most important (and in tact) archeological wonders of the past half century.
Including this here arcade of crumbling columns.
B) a place for the surrounding wealthy residents to go when they just want to "get away from it all."
It's tough living in a posh 19th century hôtel particulier, but someone's got to do it.
C) the inspiration for smash-hit Nintendo video game "Duck Hunt."
Shoot!!
Answer: All of the above, clearly. But if I had to choose, I'd go with A, 'cause nothing else explains this:
No, this is not some ongoing construction project -- under closer examination, I concluded that the large cement blocks inexplicably scattered around this (insert whatever this pyramid thing is here) were actually supposed to look like that. As in, like the crumbled remains of some ancient civilization. Leave it up to the French to wax nostalgic over the Gallo-Roman days.
