Reasons to go
Full description
Parc Montsouris opened in 1878 as part of Baron Haussmann's citywide network of new public parks, with a lake, rolling lawns, and winding paths in the English landscape style. Reviewers consistently recommend it for those seeking a more authentic, local Paris park experience, away from the crowds of the more central gardens.

Reviews
This is one of my favorite parks in the city. Just beautiful. Everything is arranged so wonderfully: the flowers, the trees, and the little lake. It's a great place to spend an afternoon.
