The Jardin d’Acclimatation is the place to go to walk, play, and explore

A symbol of modern Paris designed by Emperor Napoleon III and inaugurated in 1860, the Jardin d'Acclimatation is both the capital's only amusement and leisure park and the first to be created in France. Concessioned by the City of Paris and managed by the LVMH Group, which completely renovated it in 2018, it offers 2 million visitors a year 42 attractions and rides, 18 hectares of walks and 450 animals and birds.

The Jardin d'Acclimatation is a modern and renowned enclave of calm and entertainment located in the 16th arrondissement of Paris, a stone's throw from Porte Maillot. The place is ideal for a family moment for the greatest pleasure of young and old.

🎯An extraordinary green space in Paris

Extending over more than 18 hectares, the Jardin d’Acclimatation is a one-of-a-kind space for relaxation. Created in 1860 by Napoleon III, the oldest leisure park in Paris and a witness to the Second Empire, the Jardin d'Acclimatation is now reconnecting with its historical past. It now has a Belle Époque feel: the Jardin d'Acclimatation consists of large open or shaded grassy areas where Parisians can enjoy the fresh air and children can have fun.

The perfect place to relax and walk on fine days!

With its 42 rides, the Jardin d'Acclimatation is home to a unique amusement park: come and discover our historic attractions such as the Flying Chairs and sail on one of the boats on the beautiful Enchanted River, which has been in operation since 1927.
