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.

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!

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.
