- KateLondon_9London, UK1,847 contributionsA gorgeous park that doesn’t feel too touristy. My young daughter enjoyed the playground and we all enjoyed strolling through.Written October 28, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Dan MaarekTel Aviv, Israel16,549 contributionsParis is not only Le Louvres, or Notre Dame de PAris or not of course La Tour Eiffel.
Paris is also to walk the hidden streets of le Marais, la Rive Gauche, Le Quartier Latin and of course along La Seine.
No matter the weather is, sunny or raining, the walks will always be unforgettable, like in a movie of Truffaut or Godard.Written October 29, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

With a preference all the same for sunny days of course.
You can walk it from La Concorde to Le Musee du Louvre, or, perhaps better, the other way around, after visiting Le Louvre to enjoy some air and greenery after the so many halls of the Museum.Written October 29, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It is a National park and so free of charge to enter. There are some magnificent specimen trees as you meander along the paths. During our three days in Paris following Disney we visited this park twice.Written June 4, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

"I VISITED THIS PLACE"...
... because it's a great place- the center of Paris. I loved walking onto and exploring the island. I walked pat the (closed) Cathedral of Notre Dame several times, visited the Memorial to the Deportation and its adjacent park and went inside Saint- Chapelle and the Conciergerie. I also crossed many of its bridges.
WAS IT WORTH THE COST?
Yes- it is free
WOULD "I VISIT THIS PLACE" AGAIN?
For sure

I thoroughly enjoyed visiting it but it was incredibly busy with people also enjoying the walk.
As a result I was keen to visit the Paris equivalent. Coulee Verte Rene-Dumont is a short walk from Gare De Lyon and with the help of Google I was able to find it.
There is a staircase to climb up to the viaduct and it was well worth checking out. Unlike the New York High line the track has been completely removed and it is beautifully landscaped.
There are well maintained paths and lovely flower beds. There are also gables with roses trained to grow over them. There are plenty of benches to sit on where you can sit and relax and enjoy the scenery.
What is excellent is that even though you are in the heart of the French capital and there is hustle and bustle going on it is very calm and peaceful.
If you want somewhere to go for a break from your busy life then I would recommend coming here.Written October 14, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Any green space you encounter is filled with people relishing each other’s company while having a picnic — real food, not greasy bagged fast food — doing yoga, jogging, or just sitting on a bench taking in nature.Written May 4, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Dan MaarekTel Aviv, Israel16,549 contributionsBeautiful Garden.
It's funny that having lived in Paris for decades I had never known this place.
It was only when I returned to Paris this September that I finally had fortunately the time to walk around and discover this place.
Peaceful, rejuvenating and magnificent.Written October 30, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

A lively and seemingly safe area.

- MarinaSorocaba, SP290 contributionsWe visited the gardens during the spring and they were absolutely beautiful! So many beautiful and different flowers, and we even found cherry trees blossoming. Such a lovely place to visit!Written April 16, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- geelongexpatMelbourne, Australia1,248 contributionsLovely park with immaculate gardens. Plenty of people enjoying the sunshine. Very dog friendly too. The public toilets could be cleaned more regularly though.Written August 15, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Thomas VOakland, CA18,091 contributionsThe zoo is here, a good one, and some left over buildings from an international expo. A big castle, worth visiting, and some pretty lakes where one can rent a row boat. A big expanse with lots of room for biking, running, hiking or a picnic, all accessible by the Metro or bus. On the eastern edge of the city.Written January 30, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Josue CNew Haven, CT511 contributionsParc du Champ de Mars is nice place to get pictures of the Eiffel Tower. It is a long park the takes you from the Le Grand Palais Ephemere museum to the Eiffel Tower. On my visit the park looked pretty nice, pathways were cleared, the grass field were fenced off, seems like they were trying to regrow the grass. I took a stroll at night, and the park has probably the best view of the Eiffel Tower, you can catch the light show, on the top of the hour, take photos and selfies, just an amazing view. Overall, I think that Pars du Champ de Mars is good place to visit, you can walk towards the Eiffel Tower or take pictures.Written December 4, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- kentgwashburnSanta Cruz, CA72 contributionsWe chose Porte Maillot Metro. Bad idea. That whole area is completely torn up for the new tramway extension in advance of ‘24 Olympics. Porte Dauphine much better with just a bit of detouring. We are inveterate walkers and were tired by end of day.
Parc’s famous formal rose garden was being carefully groomed for the rose expo this weekend, June 3-4. A nice selection of roses blooming there but nowhere near the height I had expected. The chateau itself closed off in the midst of a major remodel, the rest of the grounds as beautiful as ever. Peonies & irises especially.
And can you beat the price of entry? Almost free, but not quite! Modest numbers of guests present. Tourist hordes absent, perhaps because public transit doesn’t take you to the doorstep.Written June 1, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
