It was a crowded garden on a warm day.
That's the comment I heard from those who joined the throngs who flocked to the Champs-Elysees on May 23, the first day of Nature Capitale.
900,000 people showed up.
A resounding success, no incident or accident reported, peace and green.
Did I hear a rumor that they are coming to New York in 2011?
