A very spacious, well-maintained park/garden in Paris! Lots of benches and shade from the trees. A great option to relax & walk around when avoiding crowds in indoor areas or busy attractions. The tables are also built-in chess boards! So cool.

Nice big park with pockets of activities. There is orchestra playing in one, a pond with wooden boats for kids to push, picnic area, playground etc. it’s really nice. The center of the park packs any trees so it might not be enjoyable on a sunny summer day

Some people also brought picnic mats. T...
