In the center, on the outskirts, in the old and new areas of the capital, Parisian parks and gardens provide greenery, freshness and open-air events to residents and visitors alike. Tree and flower-lined escapes, in places that are part of the city's heritage.
In the Heart of the City
The Jardin du Luxembourg, nicknamed the Luco by Parisians, is one of the green lungs of Paris. Its botanical heritage is as sought after as its architectural heritage and the seats provided to the public are stormed when the weather is nice. The garden gates regularly host photo exhibitions.
