As the weather gets warmer, you\u2019ll want to spend more and more time outdoors on your next Parisian vacation.\u00a0 We here at New York Habitat are going to be highlighting some of the great outdoor parks and gardens in Paris so that you\u2019ll already have some places in mind before you go.\u00a0 These spots are all great for strolling, picnicking, or just sitting and people-watching, a favorite pastime of Parisians!<\/p>\n

Last week, we focused on the large Bois de Vincennes.\u00a0 This week, we\u2019ll be looking at the other large park on the western edge of Paris, in the 16th arrondissement<\/a>,\u00a0le Bois de Boulogne<\/strong>.\u00a0 Like le Bois de Vincennes, le Bois de Boulogne was given to the city of Paris by Napoleon III and Haussmann once again helped to turn it into an English style garden<\/strong>.\u00a0 In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the park was a favorite of the upper classes.<\/p>\n

These days, the park is home to many different types of attractions.\u00a0 There are many hiking trails and you can rent boats to go out into the park\u2019s two lakes.<\/strong> Two famous stadiums can also be found in the park: le Parc des Princes<\/strong>, which holds soccer matches and concerts, and le Stade Roland Garros<\/strong>, home to the French open.\u00a0 At the north end of the park, you\u2019ll find le Jardin d\u2019Acclimatation<\/strong> which has a small zoo, mini-golf course, bumper cars and other fun amusements for young children.<\/p>\n

Among the many smaller cultivated gardens in the park, there are two that should definitely be visited: le Jardin de Shakespeare,<\/strong> which features plants and flowers mentioned in Shakespeare\u2019s plays, and le Jardin des Po\u00e8tes<\/strong>, which combines plants and flowers with some of France\u2019s most beloved poets such as Ronsard and Baudelaire.\u00a0 All in all, the Bois de Boulogne is sure to have something for everyone!<\/p>\n
