Paris with Kids - Garden guide
With just over 145 gardens, Paris holds many beautiful parks : delightful havens of peace in which to restore, recharge and daydream! Fun parks in which to run, play and explore! And botanical gems!
For an exotic family experience in Paris, visit Les Jardins d’Auteuil. A botanical garden or rather several gardens with over 10 000 plants from all over the world.
Hidden gem of the French capital, la Coulée Verte is a 4,5km trail elevated 10m above the 12th arrondissement. A bucolic walk away from the fast paced city life right in the middle of Paris.
When travelling in Paris with kids, our very first piece of advice would be to spend an afternoon at the Luxembourg Garden. Considered as little Parisians’ favorite playground, the park has numerous fun activities to offer.
The Ludo jardin is the name of the newly renovated children’s playground in the heart of the Luxembourg garden in the centre of the 6th arrondissement. Gated and offering numerous games, it is the perfect play area to have fun, discover and learn. A great opportunity for your little ones to enjoy themselves like real little Parisians.
Every year at the beginning of Spring, the Maison d’Education de la Légion d’honneur, prestigious French school, opens its garden for the fête des Tulipes (Tulip day). A unique opportunity to cross the threshold of this impressive building.
If your little ones are in need of fresh and space to run and play around, we recommend a family picnic at the Domaine de Saint Cloud. A lovely way to combine French culture and nature.
Located in the center of Paris and surrounded by museums, the Tuileries Garden is an ideal break between two cultural visits. This picturesque green oasis, initially designed as a private for the royal French family, has kept all of its splendor. It will delight both children and parents.
