I have discovered le Jardin d‘Acclimatation à Paris for the First Time this year and I have to admit this was Great! Le Jardin is located in Bois de Boulogne. Such a Green and festive Park in the center of Paris so close to the Business District la Defense is unusual and feels really great. The whole family enjoyed it so much for the day spent between attractions, green walks, shows and food pits....

We wen there to see the Japanese lantern festival.to is it was disappointing because it seemed not very authentic. The food stalls were ok but some were more fit to at a German Christmas market.However, it seemed a good idea to go to the festival with young children.

Beautiful park with lovely rides. I just feel price of the tickets is to high. You pay entry fee that just gets you into park every ride costs tickets which you buy separately. At 4.5 euros a ticket which means most rides will cost you 9 euros for 2 people. Tbh after watching them most are very short. I went mid August very quiet. If you have a few children you will burn through money very quickly...

I went on a weekday, and it wasn’t crowded, which made it easy to explore and try a few rides without waiting too long. The place i...
