The 10 Best Nature & Parks in 16th Arr. - Passy, Ile-de-France
Lingering over pain au chocolat in a sidewalk café, relaxing after a day of strolling along the Seine and marveling at icons like the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe… the perfect Paris experience combines leisure and liveliness with enough time to savor both an exquisite meal and exhibits at the Louvre. Awaken your spirit at Notre Dame, bargain hunt at the Marché aux Puces de Montreuil or for goodies at the Marché Biologique Raspail, then cap it all off with a risqué show at the Moulin Rouge.

This was beautiful, enchanting, and botanically interesting. Escape into another world. But if I understand correctly,an ugly roland garros tennis court stadium will destroy it. What an ugly american thing to do...is this really Paris...is this really France. If true, no different than anywhere else. Paving paradise for a parking lot, I mean tennis stadium. Until then, see this beauty,so meticulously maintained. Tell me this not true.

This is a beautiful corner of the Boulogne Park, notable for the massive and perfect rose gardens. So come in the spring when they are in bloom. Do some research as to which bus to take from the Metro, otherwise you have to walk about 30 minutes or take a cab. It's just lovely.

Beautiful gardens inspired by Louis XIV's landscape architect André Le Nôtre. It is located just across the Eiffel Tower and Seine river. Le Notre projected the Marseille castle gardens. There is a Nextflix doc about him. Very instructional if you like history, architecture and gardens. During the French hot summers people kindly invade the water to refresh. The day we were visiting it was 42oC. Really hot. At the top facing the Eiffel Tower there are twenty powerful water cannons that project water every 15 minutes or so. If you don't want to go inside the water, that is ok, stand near by and fell the water mist. Instagram Hot Spot! FREE!

This huge park on the western side of Paris is a real favourite with locals and tourists. There are many activities and some eateries in the park however on a sunny day a picnic is best and watch the world go by.

This man-made island was formed in 1827 to protect the port of Grenelle.

Metro to Bir Hakim station and then brave the traffic to walk along the bridge to the steps that lead down to this man made island. It was a glorious morning and there was quite a lot of activity. I was surprised by the three wedding groups who were having photographs taken on the small abutment that is one end of the island. It's a fair walk and I also noticed a few back-packers who had used the benches as an AirB&B. At the Monument end there was mixed use activity. One gentlemen was fishing, another group were using the exercise equipment that was located in a designated zone. At the end of the Island is the scaled Lady Liberty, a gift or, if you're a Seinfeld fan, a re-gift to France from the United States. It is impressive and though a little off the beaten tourist path, worth a visit. Actually, if you are visiting the Eiffel Tower, it's not that far to walk. The Metro Bir Hakim will take you back into the core,

On the way to Musee Marmottan, this is a small yet very beautiful, enchanting park. Especially in spring, blooming chestnut and judas trees make the scenery all the more attracting. There are also other trees that are 100-200 years old. The park dating back to 1860 is named after Irish Lord Ranelagh who used to have a house here in which there was a rotunda where he hold concerts. Continuing this legacy, there is also a music kiosk in the garden. There are also various sculptures, including the one representing La Fontaine with the fox and the crow. But the most interesting thing in the park is the "insects hotel" created to protect biodiversity. If you plan to visit Musee Marmottan, I wholeheartedly recommend to have a short break in this park, preferably after the visit, to digest all the Monets you have seen. If you have kids, they can ride ponies (available in the park for a small fee) while you have a rest.
