Paris is known by most as a metropolitan paradise, but that is not to say that it is all busy streets and Metro stations. Paris is also one of the best places to seek out beautiful parks and green spaces in which to spend your time. As the temperatures begin to cool and the leaves turn red and gold, there is no better time to wrap up and enjoy a walk in a park. So, whether you’re looking for something right in the city centre, or a little bit separated from it all – we’ve found the parks you’ve been dreaming of.
If you are staying in a luxury serviced apartment in Paris with thesqua.re this year, check out this list of beautiful parks and green spaces to enjoy during your trip.
Parc des Buttes-Chaumont
Part of this park’s appeal is that it’s hidden away in the 19th arrondissement, meaning that most tourists will never even encounter it. However, every Parisian local knows that the Parc des Buttes-Chaumont is one of the city’s hidden gems, and is the perfect place to explore on a sunny afternoon. The park holds waterfalls, cliffs, temples and so much more, and so visitors will never get bored of its sights. It is well worth spending an entire day here, so bring picnic supplies and a book to pass the time.
Jardin du Luxembourg
The Luxembourg Gardens are incredibly popular amongst both tourists and locals, and they are located close to the city centre in the 6th arrondissement. The expertly manicured gardens are a sight to behold, and there is plenty of space to enjoy a walk or a jog. The gardens are also home to six tennis courts and a playground, making it fun for all the family. Wander around the Luxembourg Gardens and spot the incredible sculptures, catch a pony ride or enjoy a puppet show in the gardens, which are a beloved Parisian destination.
Parc Floral de Paris
During the summer, the Parc Floral de Paris is truly a sight to behold. The expertly manicured floral gardens come to bloom every year, dazzling its visitors with a huge array of flora. Not only is this beautiful park a wonderful destination for a walk or a picnic, but it is also host to annual flower shows, concerts and more. If you wish to spend the day here, you will find a café, a restaurant and an art gallery to enjoy.
Albert Kahn Musée and Jardins
These gardens are so thoughtfully laid out that exploring each section is an adventure in itself. The ten acre green space is separated into sections, each designed to represent gardens from around the world. Take a trip though the gardens and you’ll be transported to a Japanese village garden, an English Garden, a Vosgienne forest and so much more. When you’re finally done, you’ll feel like you’ve travelled the world in the space of an afternoon.
With so many beautiful parks and green spaces on offer, you’ll be looking to extend your visit to Paris so that you can explore them all! To find the perfect serviced apartment for your extended stay in Paris, visit thesqua.re today.
