Paris is proud of its gardens and hosts an annual Garden Festival Fete des Jardins 24 – 25 September 2023 with events across the city and in every arrondissement: workshops, demonstrations, guided visits and meet with the gardeners who work in Paris’ green spaces.
For example the Luxembourg gardens in Paris can offer a welcome and peaceful respite from the frenzy of the great city, covering some 34 hectares of carefully laid-out gardens with a pond and theatre. The gardens surround the Palais du Luxembourg, built in the 1620s for Marie de Médici, Henri IV’s consort. Since 1958 the palace has been the base for the Sénat , the Upper House of French Parliament.
Metro: RER B : station Luxembourg-Sénat 6e arrondissement.

You could stay at a Champagne-inspired hotel near the Luxembourg gardens – Hotel Les Bulles De Paris – with designer rooms with champagnes from France as well as the hotel’s exclusive champagne. A sweet and savoury breakfast buffet is taken in the dining room that features a sparkling chandelier. (Bulles = bubbles)
