Green Paris
With over 400 parks and gardens, Paris earns its name as the greenest capital in Europe… For a general idea of the different names used to the describe them in French: the small ones are known as “squares”, the medium-sized ones are “jardins” and the bigger ones are “parcs”, not forgetting the two “bois” (woods) on either side of Paris. Sporting a rich variety of trees from near and far, and banks of flowers and shrubs of every colour under the sun, the green spaces of Paris can be reached easily and conveniently by metro or bus. They provide moments to relax and explore - around the twists and turns of their pathways, you will come across statues and interesting pieces of sculpture, lakes and fountains, grottos and waterfalls… Step into one of the vast greenhouses made of iron and glass for a complete change of scenery - that of rare and exotic plants. In the summer, pavilions and lawns welcome jazz bands, world or classical music for sharing pleasant times. For children: play areas, pony rides and swings and roundabouts are their exclusive domain. A variety of guided tours are organized: details are available in the town halls and Paris Convention and Visitors Bureau information centres.
