Parc Monceau was not on our list of places to sightsee in Paris. But it's so neat that there are so many parks in Paris that are incorporated within the area of walking that it's nice to take advantage of such nice walking spaces. We were in the Paris district of Pigalle and were walking back towards Champs-Elysées. This park was in the way to our hotel and we walked through it. It's open from sunrise to sunset for the public. There were many locals and tourists walking/running. Some people with carry-ons, others walking after work to go home etc. Just different people in the outdoor environment. Parc Monceau is well maintained with nice walkways, variety of statues to sightsee, pretty flowers and trees throughout. Overall, if you live near it or visiting near by, stop by and get your walk on. They also have benches to sit and enjoy the atmosphere.~ read more

One of the most beautiful historic parks in the area! The landscape is amazing! There is a small pond and some interesting statues in the park. There is a lot benches to sit on and enjoy the view. This is not a touristy place. Here you can find people jogging, playing with kids, having picnic, doing photoshoots, relaxing and even getting tanned during hot summer days. Claude Monet painted several views of this park, which can be found at the Met in New York. read more

Parc Monceau - Daffodils, tulips and wildflowers in the spring - Parks Near Me - Paris, 75

The most beautiful park right in the center of Paris! After a long day of enjoying this incredible city during the summer, we ended our day at this park. We just strolled around and found all these unique statues and flower gardens everywhere. There are all kinds of pathways and some architectural features such as an Egyptian pyramid, a Chinese fort, Dutch windmill, bridges and a Greek colonnade that partially surrounds The Naumachie which is a small lake. It is one of the prettiest parts of the park. There are nine gates to enter the park and it is open from sunrise to sunset. It started to rain while we were there and we ducked under a huge 100 year old tree as many that grow there are. The leaves were so massive that we stood under it and had our own natural umbrella! It worked out perfect! Plenty of area to lay down a blanket, open some wine, eat some frommage and a baquette! When in Paris... read more

Very beautiful park with lots to see and lots of open space. Quite honestly it might be my favorite park in the world. A great place to come and sit, a great place to exercice, a great place to take kids, a great place for photos, and in my case it was the perfect place for my wife and I to get married. We got married on a cute little bridge here in the park and it couldn't have been more special. This park will always be a treasured place to me. If you're in the area you should stop by! I hope it can be special place for you, too. read more

I didn't care that much for this park as it smelled like cow manure the whole time I was walking around there--yuck. There was a lot of people there on the Monday I went and they were very loud. The children's activities also cause for a very loud park. No thanks. read more

I love this park. It's so beautiful and exquisite. It's a perfect place to take Instagram pictures any time of the year. There's also a little shop to buy ice cream and other foods and drinks. read more

Beautiful park for a perfect stroll, jogging, to have lunch or just sit outside to enjoy the sunny atmosphere. It's popular park as it was crowded with people eating lunch or jogging. Lots of children playing and running around. read more

A lovely quiet park in the NW section of Paris, an easy walk NE of the Arc de Triomphe. A great place to relax and have lunch. Lots of joggers & well dressed business people come here during lunch time. Great for people watching. Very kid friendly including a carousel. Re: an earlier comment about Parisian snottiness; I've been to Paris 9 times & this statement is completely inaccurate. Parisians I have found to be very warm; they like myself simply won't put up with the arrogance, rudeness and crassness displayed by far too many ugly Americans. Viva la France! read more

Great green oasis surrounded by magnificent mansions to become white jealousy ! The Parc Monceau is great for Paris and was fitted that History is at the bedside of Nature. A rotunda, a rose garden, a pond, marble statues men known as Guy de Maupassant, and of course, it should start with this, a magnificent grid bar entry. The Parc Monceau is very appreciated for its groves, benches, it offers space for children. Details: Admission is free read more

Beautiful park even on a rainy Parisien day. We discovered this little park near our hotel and what a delight! Charming in a nestled area of Paris and all around delightful. We saw a jogging club, Boy Scout meeting, children playing and couples like us taking a leisurely stroll. Beautiful architectural all around, little man made lake, carousel and statues. Lovely way to spend a Sunday afternoon with your loved one. read more

This park is great for casual joggers or stollers with its cute, easy 1k loop. I wish we had parks as attractively laid out as this one where I live (Hawaii). It is extremely well thought out with many interesting features, including a rotunda; pyramid; Corinthian columns; a windmill (!); statues of famous French residents; beautiful flower gardens; sweeping lawns perfect for reading, picnics, and playing with your children; and interesting sculptures interspersed throughout. If you don't feel like jogging, there are many benches lining the jogging path where you can watch them run by. Parc Monceau is one of the smaller parks in Paris, but one of the most charming. I feel as if I'm in the Garden of Eden when I stroll past the babies laughing on the grass and the children on the carousel, the beautiful flower gardens, and under the large shade trees. C'est magnifique! Je voudrais faire une promenade maintenant . . . read more

The hubby and I were dealing with some serious jet lag, and so we woke up, grabbed a few pastries and headed to Parc Monceau as people were coming home from work. The park was buzzing with people and children alike. It was fun to people watch, and we made sure to sit at each section of the park. We grabbed a few ice cold beverages from the little snack/ice cream stand by the children's play ground/carousel area and just lazed around. The park has little ponies that walk around the gravel/dirt path, just be careful where you step as the ponies like to leave presents behind. Though the workers do follow and scoop what they can. Such a beautiful park to take little stroll and get away from the hustle and bustle of Paris. read more

What a nice park. I've been here several times now because it was close to our hotel. It is really good for running as the loop seems to be about 1km the whole way around. I can easily recommend this for a walk run or just a picnic in the park to relax. read more

I really like the whimsical Parc Monseau, full of odd little statues, exotic trees, hobbiton type hills and Greek columns. We even got to see little French children enjoying a pony ride. This is not a top tourist destination, so I recommend it highly for quiet Parisian afternoon with a baguette and some rilettes. read more

Sure it's winter, but the bf and I happened upon this wonderful park by accident and it was lovely break from Av. des Champs-Élysées. The park is spacious and uncrowded (it is winter, but since Paris doesn't get as cold as it used to, it was quite nice). Locals were seated on park benches and we had a great and relaxing walk along the path. I highly recommend this lovely park. There's a little kids' carousel and a duck pond. read more

Parc Monceau - It's beautiful even in the winter! - Parks Near Me - Paris, 75

Parc Monceau is a charming park filled with trees, ruins, sculptures, landscaped gardens (some bizarre) and a pond with some wildlife. It's a great escape from the bustling pace of Paris -- it feels like another world in here. Just slow down, grab a baguette, have a picnic and take a nap on the grass. A perfect spot to get away from it all and recharge. read more

Not imposing, the girl-next-door kind of park.

Lovely park for a stroll, picnic, jog/walk, people watching, reading a book, just living the fabulous Parisian life.

I'm going to this park to run, the big path is 1km long so it is easy to know how long you run. There are also other people running so it motivates you. However, it is quite crowded weekend when it is sunny. But during weekdays in summer, it is really nice. read more

One of the best parks in Paris. Not quite as manicured as Luxembourg, not nearly as natural as Buttes Chaumont, but really just lovely.
