What people say

"Very large park in the 8th, with many walking paths, statues, water features and plantings that add color along with many trees. The large black and gold gates at the many entrances are breathtaking. Benches are all around the park, some in the sun and some in the shade. Grassy areas to sit and enjoy the afternoon along with areas for younger people to enjoy the warmer weather. There is no fee to enter and water fountains are all over the park. The water feature with the roman columns surrounding part it is impressive. There are collections of other ruins throughout the parc, with columns, stone entrance ways, stone blocks and more. Great park to visit while in Paris, one of the most beautiful."
