Park Monceau is one of our most favorite places in the capital. Located in the heart of the classy 8th arrondissement and surrounded by ‘hôtels particuliers’ and residential buildings, Park Monceau has always been a favorite among the Parisians. Full of charm, it’s the kind of place you’ll want to add to your bucket list.
The Palais Royal is often overlooked and ignored by tourists, and that’s the main reason why we like it. Unlike the Tuileries garden, the Palais-Royal (meaning “Royal Palace” in French) and its little garden are a quiet refuge in the heart of Paris; and trust me, this is very rare in the 1st arrondissement!
Another beautiful hidden gem to discover in the nineteenth: The Park des Buttes Chaumont.
The Park is a 25-hectare public park located in the 19th arrondissement, in the northeastern side of Paris. It is one of the 4 Parisian parks created by Emperor Napoleon III to offer the Parisians 4 major green spaces around the city: the Bois de Boulogne in the western part, the Bois de Vincennes in the eastern part, the Parc Montsouris in the southern part and the Parc des Buttes-Chaumont in the northern part.
There are so many beautiful gardens and parks in Paris. This isn’t my first article about a Parisian garden; I’ve written entire posts about the Luxembourg garden, the Palais Royal garden, the Monceau park and the Buttes Chaumont park. Today, I am writing about one of the best kid-friendly gardens in Paris: the “Botanical garden” (“Jardin des Plantes”), located in the 5th arrondissement. If I there’s one Parisian garden with tons of things to do for kids (and adults too!), it’s undoubtedly the Botanical garden. It is a perfect place for a family day out.
The Jardin du Luxembourg is one of the most popular gardens in Paris among tourists, students and locals alike; incontestably, it is also one of the prettiest.
