Central Paris Garden Hotel Short Breaks

Paris was the cultural capital of Europe from the mid-seventeenth to the mid-eighteenth century and has great gardens dating from this period, some within the city and some outside. Paris also put great effort into its nineteenth century parks and in the twentieth century made better new parks than any of Europe’s other capital cities. Driving in the Paris area (ie inside the Périphérique beltway ring-road) is not recommended and is not necessary: France has a well-subsidized and excellent railway network with all the lines converging on Paris. Gardens and parks within the Périphérique: Carrousel Garden (Jardin du Carrousel), Jardin Albert Kahn, Jardin Atlantique, Jardin des Halles, Jardin des Plantes, Jardin des Tuilleries, Jardin du Luxembourg, Parc de Monceau, Parc André-Citroën Paris, Parc des Buttes Chaumont, Parc de la Villette, Promenade Plantee, Place des Vosges
