Le Jardin du Luxembourg, in the 6th arrondissement, is one of the most enjoyable places to visit in Paris, no matter what the season. It is very large with many different attractions within its fences which often have artistic/photographic displays on the street-side. Of course, in spring and summer it is particularly delightful and I have seen open-air concerts and... More

I loved the parks. I took some of my favorite pictures in this park. It is busy ... still ... with all those people it has a poetic - romantic - feel. More

This place is heaven after several days of sightseeing/walking. Pack a picnic of sorts, and go to this park, it is truly a wonderful place. The pathways leading to little surprises, the wide variety of things for children, the bee hives, the pond, the palace are all enjoyable. watching the families use the park is so refreshing to see, parents...

Do these people live in a time warp? It was like the 1920's or something. Everyone out enjoying the day, eating ice cream, espresso and crepes, racing sail boats in a fountain, bocci tournaments, tennis matches and debry car races. We thought, where the heck are we? is this real?? You have to see it for your self. So relaxing More

I would highly recommend this location to anyone. It was lovely and delightful. There are many chairs around a circular pond where children (and adults) sail little boats. It was so entertaining watching the children with their little sticks going round and round the pond chasing their sail boats as they floated from one side of the pond to the... More

we were a bit disappointed to find that the statue of liberty was gone for restoration but should be back in the summer. Very clean toilets in the gardens near the little cafe. the st sulpice church is very nearby and worth a visit. More

A very pleasant and beautiful place. Great to sit on one of those green chairs and relax. I recommend the end of the afternoons on sunny days, when the light is absolutelly amazing. Great place for a break during your visit to the city, where you can get awesome pictures. More
