    One of the things I love most about Paris is the plethora of little gardens and parks dotting the…read morecity with greenery, in addition to the more well known and trafficked parks such as the Tuileries and the Jardin du Luxembourg. As a New York Times article entitled "The Quiet Corners of Paris" states: "Intimate, lightly trafficked and often quirky, the small gardens of Paris can be ideal places to relax and to read. The trick is to find them." http://travel.nytimes.com/2008/06/29/travel/29gardens.html On my most recent trip to Paris, I did not march around with a guidebook to the secret gardens of Paris in hand. I enjoy setting off as a flaneuse and exploring cities and neighborhoods I'm less familiar with, and as I was browsing along the Rue du Faubourg Saint Antoine, I was very pleased to have stumbled upon a pocket of green in the middle of a busy, commercial thoroughfare. The elegant Le Square Trousseau is something of a miniature Jardin du Luxembourg, with dusty paths dotted with tall trees and flower plots leading to a carousel and other amusement for kids. The square is gated and almost seems private and exclusive but is in fact open to all. Benches line the perimeter, and as I occupied one, I enjoyed listening to a variety of languages spoken by people soaking up some sun and green and kids' playing, none of whose voices, individually or collectively, were loud enough to disturb my tranquil contemplation.

    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.

    Quality/Quantity - Huge and good size garden. Many locals here eat (and drink) their lunch…read more Family friendly. The landscaping here is amazing. Well, most of Paris's gardens! 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.
