#3 of 10 Parks & Outdoors in Paris

Known forvastnatureeast parisescape
Directions

Paris's largest green space at nearly 1,000 hectares, encompassing lakes, a medieval château, a Buddhist temple, a velodrome, and the Parc Floral. Rent a rowboat on Lac Daumesnil, visit the Parc Zoologique de Paris, or simply lose yourself on forested trails far from the city buzz. It requires a bit of planning to navigate given its sheer size, and some areas feel remote enough to warrant going with company.
