Quick, take a peek at this wonderful warm fabulous garden. Well known to the locals, but a less known to the tourist (I think tourists normally are overwhelmed with the Eiffel, Arc the Triomphe, and Versailles, or crazy shopping at the lafayette or champ d'ellysse). First, you will have to enter a park before you reach the garden. The park... More

Chairs are available for sitting and taking in the day-to-day life of Parisians. There's plenty of eateries to grab something to eat at the park. Recommended!

This park has nice chairs around the water for enjoying the sun and watch the childeren play with the boats. It was very crowded and we needed to wait for some chairs. It has as well a nice view on the sénat.

Great landscape, less crowded than Tuileries, beautiful tulips of all colors! Look for gardens where stepping inside is permitted and enjoy a picnic there - we went during the first week of May and it was near perfect pleasant weather!

The garden is very beautiful. Medici fontain takes your breath. But why you should stay off the grass?

60 Acres of park. Much to do, walk, sit, read, take a nap, play chess. There are open air exhibits. Something to see and do for young and old. The park is an Paris institution since the 17th century. Rich in history and intrigue.

Always children present on the play structures and always elders playing boule. A respite on a hot day near the boats, or under the trees. Don't forget to catch the outdoor art gallery hung upon the external fence. This year is shows terrific pictures of the Tour!

This park is so beautiful in the Spring with all the flowers blooming! We were fortunate enough to get good weather and a warm day last week when we came here. Lots to see when walking around but we also grabbed a couple of chairs and just relaxed and it was wonderful!

Plantings are beautiful, but the garden is massive. Great place to have a picnic lunch or to rest on a park bench, but if your time is limited, keep moving. This is a really big park/garden!
