after King Louis XVI of France.

Summers in Louisville are filled with festivals and outdoor events. Temperatures never get toooo bad, and with the most acres of parklands per capita of any US city, it's a wonderful time for any activity outdoors.
Winters in Louisville bring a somewhat slower pace, and an ideal time to visit that new restaurant. We get snow, mostly of the "decorative" variety. Louisville things and places not to miss in any season: Old Louisville--take one of the walking tours. First Friday Trolley Hops-when the galleries on Market Street stay open late, serve wine and the sidewalks turn into a civilized street party. Ride the free trolleys from one end to the other, to visit every gallery and shop! Churchill Downs Museum-celebrate the "greatest two minutes in sports". Visit the Extreme Sports Park. You won't believe what these kids can do on bikes, boards and blades!
