San Francisco's Nature (Français)
The various green places makes the city charming, especially Filbert steps climbing up Telegraph Hill. The Yerba Buena Garden really is a nice and quiet place in the middle of downtown, while the impressive Palace of Fine Arts amazed me with its charm and grandeur. The luxuriant vegetation all around the city really impressed me, yet the discovery of a commemorative place near the JP Morgan Chase Building was surprisingly touching.
