Luxembourg Garden

This large park is in the 6th arrondissement in the center of Paris, not far from the University of La Sorbonne and the Pantheon.

It’s the largest park in the city (Bois de Vincennes and Bois de Boulogne are just beyond the edge of town). The garden is basically square shaped and there are maps at all the entrances. The largest and most visited entrances are at the northeast (coming from La Sorbonne and the Latin Quarter) and the south (next to Crous).

This is a green oasis in the heart of the Left bank and the preferred park among Parisians.

The gardens are spread out around Luxembourg Palace and highlights are the octagonal lake, the terraces, avenues, statues, puppet-theaters, tennis courts, gazebos, and open-air cafes.

This is definitely one of the most beautiful city parks I've had the opportunity to visit, a vast green area surrounding the historic centre of the city. As a public place, it's freely accessible to all, and has a great variety of trees and plants. I had the good fortune to go in spring, when it was at its most beautiful, and it was an unforgettable visit! The park is also equipped with wooden benches, distributed along the many paved trails and bike paths. An ideal place to relax, read a good book, play, jog, or take a picnic with friends!

Nice architecture and it is always animated !
