  • This park has certainly been the favorite one of parisians for some time now. It consists of 29 hectares of greenery with ornamental ponds and splendid trees. A true french-style garden. The park has a lot of metal chairs so you can spend a few hours relaxing with a book. Or you can also jog or play tennis, or just stroll around, and if hungry, visit the café to grab a bite.
    There's also a museum, with art exhibitions by Raphael, Mondigliani and Botticelli. But do ask, as the exhibitions change every time
    The park is beautiful, but then again, it's just a park. So if you've got absoultely nothing else to see, you can give it a try. Otherwise, skip it.
