Top Gardens in Ile-de-France

Look out for the art installations scattered throughout the park. They're pretty cool and change often, so it adds a bit of surprise!

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.

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!

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!

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!

I suggest bringing your own snacks and drinks. The cafes near Diana's Garden can be pricey but there's plenty of lovely spots to sit and enjoy your food!
