Just near the river and it’s a lovely shady park with some benches which allows people to enjoy lunch. Boarded by shops and a church. Loads of pigeons around but unlike seagulls they don’t hassle you whilst you eat. I did have to forgo a...More

A very nice garden in the middle of the historic buildings, museum and shopping of the Marais. I like to buy a takeaway falafel sandwich on Rue des Rosiers and bring it here to eat in the sun.

This is a nice park overlooking the Notre-Dame cathedral. We were here during Christmas so they had an awesome Christmas market.
