PARKS AND GARDENS
Parks and gardens are part of everyday life for Parisians and as long as the weather is favorable they will be there.
Quiet or lively, relaxing or for physical activities, bucolic, romantic or to meet friends, extremely planned or not so much... In short, for all tastes and preferences.
It is impossible to walk around the city without coming across some of them. There are trees, fountains, lakes, works of art and flowers, lots of flowers. Ideal spaces to walk, run, have a picnic, sunbathe or simply contemplate life.
we separate seven of them for you to visit. They are very central and can be mixed with your city tour. The Parc des Buttes-Chaumont is the furthest away (near the Cemitière du Père Lachaise), but so beautiful that it deserves a visit.
