Beautiful Paris Parks
Paris is known for its gorgeous green spaces in the form of expertly manicured parks. In fact, they are some of the prettiest in the world and you won’t have to spend a penny to visit them. Jardin de Luxembourg (5th Arrondissement) for example is considered one of the loveliest gardens in the world. Palais du Luxembourg, a really majestic building adds to the aesthetics of the place. Parc du Champ de Mars right under the Eiffel Tower is another place to visit along with Jardin de Trocadero, which is located on the either side of the fountain across the river from the Tower. Or take a stroll through The Tuileries Gardens from the Louvre all the way to The Place de la Concorde. It’s enchanting to watch young children sailing wooden boats in the Grand Bassin near the Louvre Museum, or to take a whimsical ride on a vintage caroussel.
Here is a list of the best places to picnic in Paris.
Parc de la Villette – Free Open Air Cinema
In summer, the open air cinema at Parc de la Villette screens movies which can be a nice evening out. The movie screenings are in July and August and usually follow a particular theme. You can sit down on the grass and experience the French love for cinema.
Pere-Lachaise Cemetery
This is a beautiful cemetery that is completely different from the one at the Catacombes. The open area is beautifully decorated and has tomb stones of some famous people as well. The list includes composer Chopin to rock star Jim Morrison, Oscar Wilde, and Marcel Proust.
