Benches, trees, paved paths, it's a very nice little park. A nice little rest as you're going from hotel to the restaurant area of Roissy-en-France.

Chaque année, il accueille de nombreuses manifestations comme des concerts pique nique des flâneries et des compétitions équestres. Implanté vers 1909, c'est le prince de Polignac qui l'organise d'abord comme un "jardin d'agréments et de pratique du sport" pour ses ouvriers vignerons et cavistes puis comme un Collège d'athlètes, avec les meilleurs équipements : piste d'athlétisme, cinq tennis, des terrains de jeu de boules, de croquettes, de paume, de hockey.

One of the reasons we chose the hotel for our April visit to Paris was the proximity to Le Jardin…read moredu Luxembourg -- the Luxembourg Garden. This is one of my favorite places in Paris. Besides the layout and beauty of the Garden itself, it is a wonderful way to experience the softer side of Paris. Despite April overcast and rainy weather, walking through the Park was uplifting as always. Tulips greeted us when we entered through the Gay-Lussac entrance. Once in the Park, we found more flowers and trees in bloom. Beyond Les Voiliers du Luxembourg -- an octagonal fountain for sail boats at the focal center if the Gaeden -- we walked through a canopy formed by rows of chestnut trees. It was great staying within a few blocks of Le Jardin du Luxembourg and visiting daily.

I am so impressed I used to do my own landscaping so I know how much work it takes to make gardens look like this! Several small snack kiosks; see my pictures. Ambiance - 25 hectare, beautifully landscaped. There is a French and English part, I did not know and sadly probably would not be able to tell the difference. Rose garden, statues, etc. Kid friendly - A merry go round, slides, play areas, etc. Restaurant, snack kiosks, etc. Service - Self service. Price - The garden is free. I think you have to pay to go into the building. Owner Comment - Congrats on all your success since 1612.

There are much more locals than tourists here. The park (opened in 1867) is really beautiful but it…read moreis less popular among visitors comparing to top Paris attractions. This is exactly why it's worth a visit - add something a bit different to your Paris trip. Landscape design is outstanding - you will find an artificial lake, a grotto and waterfalls. One of the two bridges was designed by Gustave Eiffel. The park is hilly and you can enjoy amazing views of Paris from different points. One of the highest points is Temple de la Sibylle (50m above the lake). You can see Basilique du Sacré-Cœur de Montmartre from here. This place is great for running - you can do flat circles around the lake or hilly runs everywhere, there are some 8 kilometers of roads and paths. One of the three restaurants, Rosa Bonheur, is really popular, it may take an hour of waiting to get in on weekends. You can find 5 areas with free Wi-Fi in the park. Post to yelp from here and don't forget to FUC (funny/useful/cool) this review :) P.S. There's a renovation going on in the park from 2013 till 2016, some areas may be closed (Temple de la Sibylle is closed at the time of writing).

Exploring the area, I found this gem of a Parc. I love exploring where the locals go for relaxation and where they eat. After a tasty meal nearby, my friend Mats flew in from London and we explored this lovely park. We mostly stayed under the tree lined paths because it was a hot day. For a park, we were here on a Wednesday around 2pm, lots of people looking like they are having a siesta or a break from work. Everyone seemed friendly, kept to themselves. The park is rich with different plants, trees and flowers. We hiked up to the highest point, from here you have an observation look out on the rooftops of Paris and a gorgeous view of Sacre Coeur. On the way to the top, you get to cross a bridge and below is a little lake. Some parts are rather steep, go at your own pace and bring a bottled water on a hot day and a plus if you wear a hat. Every turn you go into this park had something appealing. If you look at my images, there is also a cave. During raining season, the cave has a waterfall in it, it's very pretty. Plenty of grass room to have a picnic, take a nap or read a book. If you opt for something else, lots of park benches that faces the lake. A wonderful oasis in the heart of Paris. Everyone is welcome here, singles, couples, children, dogs...

The thing with this park is that it is actually managed by the Canadian Government, and Canadian students come here on a four month rotation during the warmer months to provide guides and information about the park. The park is actually the remains of trenches from one of the initial fights in the battle of the Somme, and is significantly to the Canadians due to the significant loss of life that was experienced here. Don't expect to see any fully preserved trenches - the ravages of war, and the elements over the last hundred years has simply made them depressions (some of them quite deep) in the ground. However you can still see the remains of some bomb craters, and they even have a path that leads through one of the trenches. In the middle of the park is a memorial to the Newfoundlanders who lost their lives in the battle, and there are a couple of other cemeteries, and a memorial to the Scottish troops who also fought here. Definitely a must see if you are on a World War tour of Europe.
