The parks and gardens of Paris
When the sun shines on Paris, tradition dictates that the occasion must be honoured.
And so when summer arrives the capital’s residents need no second invitation to sit out on one of the city’s café terraces… or to flock to the capital’s green spaces (gardens, parks and squares). Visiting the gardens is one of the most attractive parts of any trip to Paris. Our team has drawn up a list of the finest parks and gardens in Paris to help you make the most of your visit.
Enjoying the greenery of Paris on holiday
Contrary to what you might think, the capital is full of green areas. Here’s a list of some of the main gardens that are well worth a visit during a summer weekend in Paris :
Parks near your Paris Opéra Hotel
All of these green areas are easy to get to from your Paris Opéra Hotel, because of the district’s excellent public transport connections. There are also plenty of green areas nearer the hotel, including Montholon square, and the Villemin garden, near the river. More impressive still, and just a hop from your Paris Opéra hotel, don’t miss the Jardin des Tuileries, the oldest of all the French gardens. Whether you’re in the capital for a weekend or a longer stay, don’t miss these Parisian gems!
