Good to know

  • Visit on a sunny morning for a peaceful walk before crowds arrive
  • multiple entrances (Place Edmond Rostand, Rue de Vaugirard) let you avoid busier gates, and bring shade since the pool area has little cover.

Reviews

If you are staying in this part of Paris, these gardens are perfect for a morning run or walk. There were many people doing just that! Not too many tho 😊 There are quite a few entry points and there’s a path all the way around and more paths that go through the middle etc. Beautiful flowers, greenery, grass, shade,…
