Parc de Bagatelle: a bucolic stroll through a heritage gem

The Parc de Bagatelle, in the heart of the Bois de Boulogne, is one of the four centres of the City of Paris botanical gardens. Created in 1775, the park and its château were built in 64 days following a bet between Queen Marie-Antoinette and her brother-in-law the Comte d'Artois. The Parc de Bagatelle is a 24-hectare park where you can stroll and relax. In addition to the gigantic trees and varied flora, the small bridges, rocks, grottoes, water mirrors and artificial waterfalls add charm and romance to the place. The 19th-century Chinese pagoda is one of the park's curiosities. Visitors can also admire a magnificent rose garden with 10,000 roses of 1,200 different species. The park regularly hosts exhibitions and events, and organises classical music concerts in summer.
