What a nice time we had walking and relaxing in Parc Monceau. A very local park away from the busy tourist sites. We walked there from our hotel after stopping at Eric Kayser for some croissants. Just a very beautiful and peaceful park in an upscale neighborhood. More

The park is worth visiting if you have a nice day and want to relax with your family or lover. We wanted to buy baguettes and tartes to have a little picnic but found it difficult to find anywhere around the park that sold what we wanted at 2.30 on a Sarurday. We ended up having lunch at the musee... More

Parc Monceau is a little Parisian gem. It's away from the hustle and bustle of touristy Paris. The park is beautiful and a nice, peaceful way to spend a few hours in the sunshine. It has free wi-fi like most Paris parks. If you're a runner, the park itself isn't very big so it could get monotonous (though it's gorgeous)... More

This place is away from the tourist drag, and mainly visited by the French as an everyday activity. I went here almost every day for a month last year, at different times of the day. I love the literary statues, the guys doing yoga in the morning, the free wifi, the Jules Verne carousel, the little café, even the grotty... More

Not many foreign visitors make it there; families, couples, loners stroll in this very very well kept green space 'oxigenizing' one of the most affluent parts of Paris. More

Sadly you can't ly on the grass in summer. Good for a stroll on a sunday, because you can feel the sun. The streets of the city are too narrow to feel the sun. More

I found this park by accident on my way to Avenue Van Dyke and i was totally charmed by it. It was like something out of a movie. There is a charming little carousel for children, a Roman ruin, the prettiest little bridge with a landscaped brook and a little domed temple. Look at the photos and judge for your... More
