Parc Monceau in Paris In the wealthy 8th arrondissement. A beautiful garden and green space. Built by a Duke, inspired by romantic English gardens, there is lots to see. Like the Renaissance arch modeled after Venice’s Rialto Bridge. A Roman Colonnade, part of the many curiosities known as Dukes Follies. Pavilion de Chartres is a former toll booth. Claude Monet painted 3 paintings featuring Parc Monceau. It’s a beautiful garden for a stroll. And a must-see in the spring: cherry blossoms! A perfect spot for a picnic! There’s a carousel too! It’s a 20 minute walk from the Arc de Triumphed and Champs-Élysées. If you are in the area go and see it! Parc Monceau is waiting for you!
