Paris is home to some of the most beautiful parks in Europe, and here we have compiled a list of the best ones. They are mainly located close to the city center where visitors may enjoy the sun and some quiet moments.
The Luxembourg Gardens are one of the most beautiful parks in Paris. The gardens were created according to the wishes of Maria Medici in 1612. Here visitors shall also find a palace that was built together with the garden between 1612 and 1617. Maria Medici insisted that the palace and gardens were built in the Italian style because she was from Florence. In memory of her childhood, she decided to build this beautiful building, which today is owned by the French Senate.
