The weather is nice, it’s hot, and unfortunately for some, there’s a severe lack of coolness. So we try to get some fresh air however we can by seeking out shady spots! And of course, parks, woods,gardens, and the areas around lakes and ponds are the most sought-after! To avoid the heat and the crowds, we suggest heading out to Île de Puteaux. This island hides an absolutely charming park, surrounded by roses… And it’s completely free!
A stunning free rose garden just outside Paris
It’s a veritable Garden of Eden hidden just a few minutes from Paris. Welcome to Lebaudy Park, nestled on the Île de Puteaux! A romantic 3.3-hectare oasis of nature, home to over 200 varieties of roses.
In this magnificent French garden, you’ll feel as if you’re in a dream. Between the lapping water of the fountains and the sweet scent of the flowers, all your senses will be awakened! The park offers a 2-kilometer-long path along the Seine, winding through flower-lined paths and romantic sculptures. There, you can admire magnificent climbing roses on the pergolas, including the Damask rose, renowned worldwide for its fragrance.
Just like in a fairy tale, you can watch butterflies flitting here and there, gathering nectar from the flowers in the meadow. An enchanting sight to behold from spring through summer. And the best part? It’s 100% free.
