    This is the place for kids!!! We spent the entire day and it was magical. From floating toy sailboats, to playing on the playground, to riding horses. This place was magical . If you have kids this should be at the top of your list.

    Despite compelling cases for Tuileries Garden and Place des Vosges, I think if any green space really epitomizes Paris, it has to be Luxembourg Garden. That's because no matter how crowded it gets, the park retains a calming atmosphere. Almost like a movie set, the landscaping is impeccable with perfectly aligned tree-lined paths, colorful flowerbeds, and well-spaced sculptures. The stately Luxembourg Palace dominates the park with its grandeur. Jamie W and I were here in early September, so the flowers were still in bloom. We were able to secure a couple of the green chairs where we devoured the chocolate cramique we bought at Aux Merveilleux de Fred (review https://yelp.to/Ctu5tgvU1c). We enjoyed watching the kids push the little sailboats in the central pond (Video). In another area, kids were riding ponies accompanied by their watchful parents (Photo 4). To better maintain the grounds, they cordoned off certain green spaces for relaxing and picnicking (Photo 3). The entirety of the park really felt like bucolic scenes depicted in impressionistic paintings. We didn't spend as much time as we wanted, but we have a good excuse to return to the Left Bank.

    If you visit Paris.... You must spend some time here... find your space. What a beautiful open space garden... where people get together, to chill, to relax, kids play... and couples sharing moments... I'm sure it requires a lot of people to maintain this space... and bravo for their service. The trees are cut and trim to reflect art-like features, flowers abundance... one can get lost in their musing... grab a chair and let the breeze and sun take your worries away... Even if it's temporary... I loved my quiet 10 mins. Then we started to walk to dinner... food over peace.

    This is quintessential Parisian life... do as they grab a quick to go meal and have lunch here. It is the perfect people watching place. Large gardens with many places to sit. Well maintained and very clean with lovely follages

    One of the most beautiful greenspaces in Paris. Actually, one of the most beautiful parks I've visited. Friday, late afternoon. People of all ages just hanging out, enjoying all that Jardin du Luxembourg has to offer. The grounds were perfectly manicured. Impeccable landscaping. Perfect paths throughout the park. I loved the fountains. You can rent a sailboat to push around the pond. Tennis courts. A few concession areas. I just couldn't find a bathroom. Probably my inability to read the maps in the park. Loved Jardin du Luxembourg!

    These are beautiful gardens to spend time in relaxing or exercising. We went in October 2024 on an off-again, on-again rainy day and the park was full of people. Besides the beautiful wooded parts, trails and floral gardens, there are also sculptures and other landmarks here to visit. My favorite is the Medici Fountain, an absolutely beautiful work of art and one of the most famous of the city's many fountains.

    such a stunning park with the most gorgeous views! Perfect for a photoshoot, a nice stroll or even a lovely picnic. There's plenty of chairs available to sit in and lots of shaded grass areas for picnics. Must visit free area in paris!

    Very nice garden, we viewed it in passing many times during our vacation. On our last day, we visited. It started to drizzle, but wanted to see. The walkways like others in Paris is a fine gravel. There is a large lawn area, fountains, and a large building that we could not access. Maybe because it was a Sunday morning. There were a lot of morning Joggers that ran by. In the evenings we saw many people enjoying the outside, and there were lots of chairs for that purpose. It was cold, and still early spring, it's probably much more beautiful in warmer weather.

    Lots of space for exercise (running, tennis court, walking) and resting. Lots of seats available and shade. Highly recommend visiting for a morning workout

    This is the gorgeous Medici Fountain in the park a bit of a walk from the playground.

    Big quiet oasis of a park in Paris. Lots of trees and shade. Excellent park for kids with lots of high quality equipment including a zip line. Playground very well maintained and they charge for entry. For parents coffee and snacks are available. Bathrooms close by. They have a Carousel too which is staffed and lots of fun to take a spin on...park is quite large with many paths for walking. Very relaxing and beautiful. I would recommend for the kids to get energy out or for the parents to clear the head.

    James Z.

    Wonderful park in the middle of Paris to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. Very wide open green spaces and a pond to relax and enjoy the good weather. Located conveniently on walking distance from a lot of attractions. It doesn't feel like you're in Paris when you're here.

    This is a nice place to slow down and relax and enjoy the fresh air in Central Paris. It's free and it's also apparently the oldest park in Paris. The Garden of Luxembourg leads into a central plaza featuring the Palace of Luxembourg.

    Medici Fountain
    Daniel C.

    Jardin du Luxembourg is beautiful! It's a nice escape from reality and city life. There are gardens, sculptures, water features and more on property so guests can enjoy a peaceful time there. They offer many benches and chairs to sit on. It's surprisingly very clean! The entire park is quite clean with rubbish bins to discard waste. We saw people having coffee, drawing art, having conversations, reading, taking photos and eating while visiting. During our stroll around the property, we sat at serval spots to admire the area and to talk about how lucky we are to be able to have a conversation there. Medici Fountain stood out but it's busy there with people trying to take photos or draw the surrounding area. We sat there and enjoyed some macarons. It was a nice day in the park and we are envious that locals can come often. Highly recommended free attraction site for locals or tourists.

This is exactly why it's worth a visit - add something a bit different to your Paris trip. Landscape design is outstanding - you will find an artificial lake, a grotto and waterfalls. One of the two bridges was designed by Gustave Eiffel. The park is hilly and you can enjoy amazing views of Paris from different points. One of the highest points is Temple de la Sibylle (50m above the lake). You can see Basilique du Sacré-Cœur de Montmartre from here. This place is great for running - you can do flat circles around the lake or hilly runs everywhere, there are some 8 kilometers of roads and paths. One of the three restaurants, Rosa Bonheur, is really popular, it may take an hour of waiting to get in on weekends. You can find 5 areas with free Wi-Fi in the park.

For a park, we were here on a Wednesday around 2pm, lots of people looking like they are having a siesta or a break from work. Everyone seemed friendly, kept to themselves. The park is rich with different plants, trees and flowers. We hiked up to the highest point, from here you have an observation look out on the rooftops of Paris and a gorgeous view of Sacre Coeur. On the way to the top, you get to cross a bridge and below is a little lake. Some parts are rather steep, go at your own pace and bring a bottled water on a hot day and a plus if you wear a hat. Every turn you go into this park had something appealing. If you look at my images, there is also a cave. During raining season, the cave has a waterfall in it, it's very pretty. Plenty of grass room to have a picnic, take a nap or read a book. If you opt for something else, lots of park benches that faces the lake. A wonderful oasis in the heart of Paris. Everyone is welcome here, singles, couples, children, dogs...

The question is whether you'd want to come back as a more seasoned Francophile tourist. Despite being constantly overcrowded, the answer is definitely yes. This has been the definitive green space that has epitomized classic garden architecture since the 16th century. The fountains, geometric layout, the Musee de l'Orangerie, and ornate statues by the likes of Rodin and Maillol give it the traditional French style we come to expect in Paris. It's also an unquestionable hub for social activity with playgrounds and sailboats on the Grand Bassin. Unfortunately, Jamie W and I weren't here during one of the seasonal events like the summer Fête des Tuileries when a carnival midway is set up, or Paris Fashion Week when runways are built and celebrities flock in frocks, or the Christmas market. The most prominent landmark when we visited was the Paris Cauldron, the mammoth epicentral sphere built for the 2024 Paris Olympics (Photo 6). RELATED - Exploring Paris?
