Our NEW DISCOVERIES
Secret gardens, squares a rooftop terraces
1. Jardin Francs-Bourgeois- des Rosiers
In Le Marais, this is an original Parisian public garden that can’t be seen from the street. To access: cross the hall of Hôtel de Coulanges (35 rue Francs-Bourgeois) to find yourself alone in a wide enclosed space, nice green path, wooden benches and privacy you wont find anywhere in Paris. Open to 2-7pm MAP
2. Jardin Anne Frank
Behind the Centre George Pompidou (Marais), at the end of 'Impasse Berthaud' a paved dead end street, making it hard to find; this garden is tranquil, quiet and far from tourists. Only a few locals go despite the natural beauty of the park. MAP
3. Chateau Bagetelle
The Parc de Bagatelle, one of the most beautiful parks in Paris, was created because of a bet between Marie-Antoinette and the Count of Artois. The park is now best known for its prize-winning rose garden and the English style garden. MAP
4. The Hermes Secret Garden
Difficult to get in but worthwhile knowing about, this jardin sur le toit (Garden on the roof) is high above the grand boutique windows of Hermes. An exquisite little-known paradise that overlooks the rooftops in A storybook setting, an oasis of greenery flourishing against the Eiffel backdrop. Pastel pink and white roses, sage, rosemary, hibiscus, balsam, hawthorn, magnolias, lillies and an apple tree MAP
