Top Nature in Ile-de-France

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 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!

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.

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.

If you can, visit the beach early in the morning, around 8 AM. It’s so much quieter then, and you can snag a great spot without the crowds. Plus, the sunrise feels magical.

I suggest visiting Buttes-Chaumont early in the morning, around 8 AM, to enjoy the park with fewer crowds and to catch the beautiful sunrise over the lake.

Wear comfy shoes! There are lots of hills and paths that make the place feel like a mini-hike. I regretted wearing my new sneakers that weren’t meant for walking

I recommend hitting the beach around 4 PM when the crowds start to thin out. It's way more relaxing, and you get to enjoy the sunset without the rush.
