Nature Places Map
Nature 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!
Lake Annecy
Don't miss the cheese and charcuterie shops in the old town. I found some great local specialties that weren't too pricey! It'll make your picnic spot even better!
I suggest grabbing lunch at one of the local bakeries instead of the sit-down restaurants. They have tasty baguettes and pastries that are way cheaper and perfect for a picnic by the lake!
Field of Mars
If you want fewer crowds and better photos, aim to visit right before sunrise, around 6:30 AM. The Eiffel Tower looks stunning in the morning light and you can enjoy the peace before tourists swarm in.
Deauville Beach
Vincennes Nature Reserve
La Grande Plage
Padirac Cave
Try to arrive around 9 AM when the doors open. The lines can get pretty long as the day goes on, and you’ll want to make the most of your visit without the crowd.
La Villette
I recommend bringing a picnic! The lawns are perfect for lounging, and you can save some cash by eating there instead of in a restaurant.
If you plan to explore the area, wear comfortable shoes! There’s quite a bit of walking, and I wish I'd known that before my visit.
