There is also the opportunity to enjoy the many features and activities which the parks have to offer. Below are some parks to visit around the city:

There is also a canal which runs through the park, adding to its character and increasing its value as a place to come to be serenaded. The park is located close to the river Seine and is the perfect place to break up your city break.

Parc Monceau - This park has played host to many famous events in history and is a favourite haunt of many a celebrity seeking a slice of nature within the city. The gorgeous gardens are tastefully accompanied by a number of niche structures which are spread Paris parksthroughout the park.

Parc du Champs-de-Mars - Probably one of the best known parks in Paris and arguably the one which offers the best view.
