Gardens Places Map
Gardens in France:
Tuileries Garden
Luxembourg Garden
I suggest hitting the garden around 9 AM to beat the crowds and enjoy the serene atmosphere. It's a perfect time for those Instagram shots before everyone else shows up.
Trocadero Gardens
I recommend getting there around sunrise if you can. The early morning light hitting the Eiffel Tower is absolutely breathtaking and you'll avoid the crowds. My pictures turned out great!
Jardin Public
If you're planning to take some nice photos, try going around 6 PM. The golden hour really brings out the beauty of the gardens.
Save a bit of cash and bring your own picnic! There's plenty of green space to relax and enjoy your lunch, plus you'll avoid pricey cafe prices
Gardens and Park of Versailles
Claude Monet's Garden
Garden of the Two Banks
Garden Ile de Versailles
I recommend visiting in the morning, around 10 AM, to catch the gardens just as they open and avoid the crowd. The light is beautiful then too.
Don't forget to wear comfy shoes! The paths are lovely but can be a bit uneven. By the end of the day, my feet were sore, and I wished I wore sneakers instead.
Etretat Gardens
Bring a light jacket even in the summer – the weather can change quickly and it gets chilly up on those hills.
Aclimation Garden
Bring a picnic! I found a lovely shaded area to relax and enjoy some food I packed; way cheaper than buying snacks at the park!
