Taking place in the Orangerie within the Parc de Bagatelle, the Chopin festival has found a setting worthy of the great composer in this bucolic spot. The festival pays a tribute to the Polish composer with many concerts and conferences which reunite the great specialists of the work of the Romantic pianist.

Parc de Bagatelle - Jardin botanique de Paris

The Parc de Bagatelle, situated at the heart of the Bois de Boulogne, is one of the City of Paris’s four botanical gardens. Created in 1775, the park and its chateau were built in 64 days after a wager between Queen Marie-Antoinette and her brother in-law, the Count of Artois. The Parc de Bagatelle is a great place for walking and relaxing. As well as giant trees and varied plant life, little bridges, rocks, caves, expanses of water and artificial waterfalls add to the charm and romantic aspect of the park. The 19th century Chinese pagoda is just one of the park’s curiosities. Visitors can admire the magnificent rose garden with 10,000 rose bushes from 1,200 different species. The park regularly hosts exhibitions and events as well as classical music concerts in the summer.
