Wander through Bagatelle Park, a landscaped garden tucked inside the Bois de Boulogne. Stroll past the famous rose garden in full bloom around June, and admire the 18th-century château without the crowds of central Paris.

✨

Reasons to go

  • The château at its center was reportedly built in just 64 days after a bet between Marie Antoinette and the Comte d'Artois.
  • Its rose garden has hosted the Concours International de Roses Nouvelles de Bagatelle since 1907, the world's first international competition for new rose varieties.
  • Peacocks and geese roam freely across the park's grounds among the roses and water features.

Reviews

This park is a gem, especially at the time when roses are in bloom. Gorgeous grounds. It’s an easy ride using public transport, just make sure to wear comfortable shoes as you’ll need to take a walk on hiking path from the bus to the park
