Secret cherry blossom paths in the heart of Paris
When we think of cherry blossoms, the Domaine National de Sceaux often comes to mind. And we understand why, as it is absolutely sublime during the peak flowering period. But there are other places, much closer by, where you can admire these pretty, delicate flowers from March to April. These include Square Gabriel Perné and Martin Luther King Park, which is transformed during the spring.
Cherry blossoms in Paris @limitlesssecrets
Very quiet and peaceful, this park is still overlooked by Parisians, yet it is not without charm. Located in the 17th arrondissement, near Batignolles, you can admire the paths and meadows filled with cherry blossoms. You’ll love gazing at the magnificent and delicate pink sakura blossoms. Although dogs are not allowed in the park, you can bring a picnic to enjoy on sunny days. The peak season for cherry blossoms is generally from March to April, with the flowers reaching their full bloom around mid-March. But nature is capricious, and its rules are not set in stone. We therefore recommend visiting throughout the spring months to enjoy this beautiful, free park, its green setting, its rolling meadows… and of course its cherry blossoms!
