General Tips: Les Jardins Publiques-a place to relax completely
  • Tip Rating:
  • Favorite Thing: The Jardins Publique near to Quinconces are perfectly manicured but welcoming gardens featuring huge tree and shrub specimens, green lawns, water features and crunchy gravel paths winding throughout. Birds hop right up to you to say hello and all is right with the world. There is a small childrens play area but there are no screaming kids running wild here and no dogs are allowed off their leash. Also, the lawns bear no stiff signs asking you to keep off the grass and appear to be kept immaculate by an unknown force of nature. Plenty of benches line the paths to allow you to stop for a while and take in the beauty around you, but you could be just as happy flopping down on the grass under a tree. This park is a haven for a little peace and tranquility on a hot and sticky day. Wonderful.
