Tuileries Garden
Look out for the art installations scattered throughout the park. They're pretty cool and change often, so it adds a bit of surprise!
Luxembourg Garden
If you're looking to save some cash, bring your own snacks and enjoy a picnic under the trees. There are lovely spots that feel just right for chilling
I recommend visiting in late spring or early fall when the blooms are fresh or the colors are vibrant. You'll avoid the summer tourists too!
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 think you should check out the fountains in the gardens! They have a show at certain times, and it’s free entertainment. Be sure to ask around, sometimes they don’t run every day though.
I suggest visiting during the week rather than weekend if you can. The park is way less crowded and you’ll have a better chance of getting that perfect photo without a million tourists in the background!
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
I recommend visiting on a weekday if you can. It's way less crowded than weekends, and you'll have more space to enjoy the park vibes.
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
I suggest bringing comfortable shoes. You’ll be doing a lot of walking, and it's easy to lose track of time exploring the little paths. I made the mistake of wearing flats and regretted it halfway through!
Claude Monet's Garden
Garden of the Two Banks
Bring a picnic! I found some lovely spots to sit and relax while enjoying the scenery. There are some nice benches, but spreading out on the grass felt great on a sunny day.
Garden Ile de Versailles
I suggest checking out the small art exhibits scattered around; they were a pleasant surprise! I nearly missed them because I was too focused on the gardens.
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.
Aclimation Garden
Don't waste your time looking for the main entrance; it's easy to get turned around. Just follow the signs or ask a staff member—they're super helpful.
Try to grab a map at the entrance. It really helped me navigate the garden’s hidden gems, and I would have missed some beautiful areas otherwise.
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!
Etretat Gardens
Don’t just stick to the gardens – take the time to see the surrounding cliffs and beaches. The whole area is stunning and you won't want to miss it!
Bring a light jacket even in the summer – the weather can change quickly and it gets chilly up on those hills.
