I have never seen a park so full of people out to enjoy the good weather. Large areas laid to lawn, many chairs along the walkways and benches all over make for a comfortable break of sightseeing. It is great fun watching the children pushing their sail boats in the big fountain. More

Since I stay around the corner from here most of the time this has become my second home when in Paris regardless of the season. It is always beautiful, peaceful, and introspective. During the summer months the manicured trees and flowers are stimulatingly beautiful. Grab a glass of wine and some cheese and enjoy the beauty of the park More

This is one of the best parks in Paris. It is quite big, it is quiet and there are lots of flowers. It is a good place to relax a little bit and get out of the busy streets of Paris. Definitely a must see. More

We stumbled upon this park after picking up some picnics things at the Raspail Organic Market. Such a lovely spot! We sat by the pond and watched young families played with small sailboats, then walked over the gardens to drink wine and eat cheese. Over all, a very lovely place to site in the sun and rest! More

If you are not to spend a couple of hours reading book, just walk through it on your way from Pantheon. More

Luxembourg Gardens is a nice respite from traffic noise, an expansive park with many small chestnut trees. There are fountains, child play areas and different levels which create pleasing views. It is very popular with locals. There is a cafe just SE of the palace that serves good food at reasonable prices. There are many good places to sit and... More

The best place to grab a chair and relax on a sunny afternoon. It's better when the kids are playing with their boats in the fountain. More
