Everyone knows Montparnasse Station, but who would have thought that a 4-hectare garden was perched right on top of it? Certified as an “Ecojardin,” this green oasis—free year-round—is a true paradise for all travelers!
A hanging garden, above Montparnasse Station
Opened in 1994, this vast garden crowns Montparnasse Station with a magnificent 3.5-hectare space—100% free…Designed to celebrate the rail connections between Paris and the Atlantic Coast, this green space will transport you to another world. Here, everything is a nod to the station’s train connections. You’ll find tree species reminiscent of those in the Southwest, such as umbrella pines. Certain inlaid patterns evoke the movement of waves.
The park is quite well-equipped, with various walking paths, ping-pong tables, and even a tennis court that you can use for free, all year round! It’s the perfect way to unwind when you arrive at the station or before you leave. In fact, the park isn’t reserved just for travelers —it’s open to all Parisians.
The Jardin Atlantique is truly a charming spot that offers a peaceful retreat! You could almost forget that you’re on top of one of Paris’s busiest train stations!
