It's always good to have green space near a big city. This park is nice but unfortunately there are too many streets accessible to cars that cut through the park making it feel much less like a haven from the city than it could be. More

A large green space in the west of Paris. The lake is nice and there is a good space for outdoor activities. The "Jardin d'Acclimation" is also there and good for small children. The sad point is that a place for some prostitutes and drug users, so you have to be careful. More

Compared to say Central Park or Golden Gate Park, the Bois de Boulogne doesn't hold up well. Still, for a big expanse of woods, grass, gardens, and water with some stuff to do, it continues to attract people every weekend - including my family on a regular basis. More

Bois de boulougne is my daughters favourite attraction in Paris. We have been there many times and even now, they always want to go! We usually start off by taking the metro and then walking to the main entrance, we buy 10 ticket attractions and go inside! There is a wonderful children's museum inside de bois called musse en herbe,... More

We had few hours in an afternoon to spend before returning from Paris and decided to visit here for some fun. Though it was in our original plan we somehow pushed it back and prioritizing other things. I must say that we had an unsatisfying experience here. This place is huge and mostly it is a woodland area than a... More

I was visiting friends in Paris. To be funny they took a route through this area and they show me where there are ladies waiting for clients. They park their small vans and hang colorful scarves from the mirrors to advertise, others you can see walking around the area in lingerie. At night the road to through the woods is... More

We went through Bois de Boulogne park as a short cut to the campsite. After a busy day sight-seeinng in Paris it was really nice to discover this park. Very peaceful, pretty lakes and streams to walk around, open places for ball games etc. Very unexpected in the middle of such a large city! Make sure you keep to the... More

The Bois de Boulogne is a great park for walking, running, or people watching. The grassy areas near the ponds are beautiful places to picnic or just to lay out for a while and the woods are extensive and have lots of paths and running trails. You could explore the area for a long time. While beautiful during the day,... More
