Autumn is the best time of year to enjoy the natural scenery in the parks, gardens and forests of the French capital.
Luxembourg Gardens
The Luxembourg Garden is located in the 6th arrondissement of Paris and was created in the 17th century by Queen Marie de' Medici. Although the landscape and layout of the garden have changed a lot since then, it is still considered a green oasis in the heart of the city. The garden has more than 600 fruit trees growing in the southern corner, next to the oldest beekeeping school in Paris.
Luxembourg Gardens is also a place where many people come to read books in a peaceful, quiet setting. Visitors can stop by the Medici Fountain to enjoy the scenery or sit and relax on the benches overlooking the winding, shady paths running along the garden. A corner to see the autumn leaves near Luxembourg Gardens is the row of ginkgo trees with bright yellow leaves on Saint-Michel Avenue, where the 5th and 6th arrondissement meet. Photo: paris_shuffle
The Batignolles district or 17th arrondissement in Paris is not only home to trendy cafes and restaurants, but also a farmers' market and the charming Square des Batignolles. Locals often come to this square to play petanque and feed the ducks. Two other places in the 17th arrondissement suitable for autumn viewing are the Clichy-Batignolles - Martin Luther King green complex. This complex was completed in 2004, covering an area of 10.8 hectares. The four seasons here have their own scenery. In autumn, visitors can visit this green complex to admire the cherry trees bearing fruit, the ash garden and the garden with many other fruit trees bearing autumn fruits. Photo: bisachira
Albert Kahn Museum and Gardens
The garden of French photographer Albert Kahn is located in the western suburb of Boulogne-Billancourt, about 10 km from the center of Paris. This garden is also a museum that houses a huge collection of photography and cinema, the Archives de la Planète, a project carried out from 1908 to 1931 that recorded images of human cultures around the world .
The landscaped garden features plants from many different countries planted side by side. There are two Japanese gardens, traditional and contemporary, with beautifully trimmed trees, surrounded by red maple trees, as if transporting visitors to Kyoto in the heart of Paris. Visitors should visit this place at least twice. The first time is just to observe and enjoy, the second time is to learn more about the photography museum and the plants in the garden.
On the second Tuesday of every month, the garden is illuminated and is open until 10pm. From October to March, the museum and garden are open from Tuesday to Sunday, from 11am to 6pm. Admission is 8 euros per adult, free for under 26s. The first Sunday of every month, entry is free. Photo: scissorisback
