Parc de Bagatelle: a bucolic stroll through a heritage gem

Parc de Bagatelle, located in the heart of the Bois de Boulogne, is one of the four poles of the City of Paris botanical garden. 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 24-hectare Parc de Bagatelle is an ideal place for strolling and relaxing. In addition to gigantic trees and varied flora, 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 sights. Visitors can also admire a magnificent rose garden featuring 10,000 roses of 1,200 different species. The park regularly hosts exhibitions and events, and organizes classical music concerts in summer.
