When you need to escape the sensory overload of Paris’ amazing museums, shopping, and galleries you can make your way to the Parc de Bagatelle on the western outskirts of the city. Here you will find a serene and beautiful garden that forms part of the Paris Botanical Gardens. The park dates back to 1775, when it was created in just 64 days during the reign of Queen Marie Antoinette.

Today you can relax and unwind by strolling through the exquisite rose garden, which features over 10,000 rose bushes (at their best during May and June). You can also admire the small château on the grounds and the 19th-century Chinese pagoda. To get there, take the Metro to Pont de Neuilly Station and then take bus 43 to the park.
