In Paris there are so many beautiful parks and gardens in which to take an autumnal stroll. Take the famous Jardin des Tuilieries located between the Louvre and Place de la Concorde - the park was opened to the public in the 17th century; it has terraces and a central vista which runs down the Grand Axe through circular and hexagonal ponds. The gardens are dotted with beautiful statues. Jardin du Luxembourg is a true family park with is merry-go-round, pony rides, ice cream sellers, puppet shows and more. Parc des Buttes-Chaumont is a hidden gem, located in the 19th arroundissement, it is one of Paris’ most magical spots. Paris is also home to a vineyard, tucked away in Montmartre! If you are staying in Paris for a few days it would be worth taking a mini cruise along the Seine to Giverny to see the wonderful Monet gardens.
