Parks to Visit in Paris

Paris is blessed with some of the best parks in Europe. These parks offer the tourist an opportunity to escape the hustle and bustle of the city centre and enjoy some of the glorious landscape contained within the parks. 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:

Parc André Citroën - This park is a wonderful mix of water, water structures and extensive botanical gardens. 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 throughout 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. Located directly underneath the Eiffel Tower, this is a popular rest point for those who have just conquered the mammoth climb to the top of the iconic structure. Marvel at the brilliance of the Eiffel Tower or glare across at the Ecole Militaire.
