Parc Monceau

Parc Monceau, created by the Duc de Chartres in the 17th century, is a jewel in Paris's 8th arrondissement. The gilded gates open onto a verdant space, adorned with statues, majestic trees and a variety of birds. Here you'll find the Renaissance arcade of the Hôtel de Ville and the Musée Cernuschi, dedicated to Asian art. Surrounded by luxurious buildings, this haven of peace is popular with Parisians and tourists alike, with play areas for children.
