Lovely large park with lots of seats and plenty of places to picnic! There was a small lake with ducks and plenty of trees for shade on a hot day. Has stunning views of the senate and pretty fountains.

Perfect to rest those feet from all the walking around paris. Take your lunch and relax on the grass, or under the trees in the park. A few cafe's around if you need a drink too. Luxembourg palace is now home to the senate but you can look from the outside. Gardens are impressive!

We wandered around these gorgeous gardens one spring morning. We were particularly intrigued to watch the little kids at the lake, pushing the little wooden boats with long sticks. They were delightful to watch! The gardens are extensive and all the poppies were so gorgeous!

Huge area on left bank with a great play area for kids that charges a few euro to get in but packed with things to keep them busy. Mike most if Paris the food and drinks are a complete con so take a picnic.

Put on your walking shoes that you don't care about and just stroll around the gardens. Grab something at an always nearby carefore and have a picnic. Know that the Paris intelligence is located under your feet, and have a good time.

Our visit was a little early in the year to truly be able to appreciate the gardens. It was early May and while some tulips had bloomed, it was still rather cold and rainy (perhaps just an off year) so it is probably stunning with everything blooming.

We took our 4 year old to this beautiful garden and had a nice lunch in the pavilion - really nice food and staff. Plenty to do - he sailed a little boat on the pond which he loved. Had a pony ride and there is a terrific playground (however they charge an entry fee which is a bit cheeky).... More

Chestnuts in blossom everywhere.A nice get a way and have your bagette in busy Paris. On the outside gates of the parc, there are large photo murals of... More
