Jardin d'Acclimatation

(Last Update: 04.03.2024) Eiffel Tower, Montparnasse or Montmartre When you look at Paris from a high place, it gives the impression that it is not as green a city as you think. However, when you walk around its streets, you will think that you are in a lush green city among the giant horse chestnut trees. At the same time, large and small parks scattered around the city are the breathing spaces of Paris. Therefore, it is unlikely that you will experience a feeling of breathlessness in Paris.

As if all this greenery wasn't enough, there are two huge forest areas on both sides of Paris. of these in the east Bois de Vincennes with the west Bois de Boulogne I have shared detailed information about it with you in previous articles. This time Bois de Boulognefrom a completely different paradise located in, especially for kids from a great place Jardin d'AcclimatationI want to tell you about.

In 1860, III. Built by order of Napoleon Even in those years, this private park was not only considered as a travel and recreation area, but also An educational center on plant and animal diversity designed as. In other words, this is an important place as it is not only an entertainment and recreation area, but also a project implemented with scientific concerns. Yes, these details were considered even in 1860...

Jardin d'Acclimatation (jarden air conditioning or jağden air conditioning) 846 hectares Forest of Boulognebuilt at the corner of 19 hectares It is a park of considerable size. just here cafes, restaurants, ponds, walking paths and flowering gardens no, also a zoo, amusement park, theater There are also plenty of attractions such as.

Jardin d'Acclimatation, one of the centers of contemporary art in Paris Louis Vuitton FoundationSince it is located next to , we first visited this place after visiting this art center. my paris While walking around the park with Cüneyt Ayral and our beloved İklil, whom we met to celebrate its publication, the first thing that greeted us was the classical music concert in the camellia. The orchestra consisting of young people was sitting on the camellia and playing beautiful music. Then, when we encountered the first pond and the rich flower and vegetation, we realized what a special place we were in.

At that time, I didn't know that years later I would also write a book about Paris. Though A Week in Paris I do not mention this park in my book, because this Jardin d'Acclimatation is not among the classics of Paris; Those who come to Paris for the first time, especially families with children, Disneylandprefers; to explore this place Alternative Paris You have to search. For this reason, I may consider mentioning this place in my next book, but until I write that book, will you know if this place will be among the Paris classics? 😉

Anyway, let's get back to our trip: When we arrived at the Korean garden, I was happy like a child when I saw the dragon-shaped mini roller-coaster among the wisteria flowers, and I immediately fell in love with Iklil and tried this device, which was actually made for children :) After two short but entertaining tours cheerful like children We got off in good spirits and continued our trip. However, just two days ago DisneylandI was in , and of course there are the best of them there, but surprises like this that come out of nowhere make our day better at unexpected times.

Actually I've been here before Fransızca My teacher Anne suggested it, but once, when I was passing by the Jardin d'Acclimatation, the smell of animals coming from inside and the screams of children having fun prevented me from going in :) However, when I was visiting this place after a long time, I realized that - although the smell of the zoo inside was not very pleasant - the screams of children were that It's not that disturbing, on the contrary, you become happier when you see children having fun.

Some corners of the park are as calm as possible; You feel like you are in another land as you walk through the gardens arranged in different concepts. And since this is not just a park-vineyard-garden, the value of this greenery becomes more important in your eyes.

It's debatable whether zoos are a good thing or a bad thing. In other words, the fact that those little animals are taken from their natural conditions and exhibited in such areas may be an ethical problem in terms of animal freedom, but it is clear that it is a blessing for children. Interesting animals you may encounter while visiting the Jardin d'Acclimatation, it can be interesting even for you. There's only one problem; Really, the smell of these parts of the park is not very pleasant. However, animals are housed in extremely clean and protected environments.

In my research while preparing an article about Jardin d'Acclimatation, I learned with astonishment that At the end of the 19th century, "Turks" brought from Africa within the scope of ethnographic study were brought here.wild” people have also exhibited several times for certain periods of time behind bars!  Human history is a truly interesting process; What is happening, how lives, thoughts and lifestyles change over time...

Today, we question the reason for the existence of zoos. Maybe even this is an indicator of development, but for now, we can see the interesting animals in such a sheltered and safe environment; Most importantly, it is of course beneficial to see them all together.

One of the most enjoyable aspects of Jardin d'Acclimatation is, of course, amusement park. After the first dragon-like caterpillar we rode in, we realized that there were different types of them in the amusement park at the main entrance of the park. Do you now think of mini roller-coasters, carousels, bumper cars or a magnificent spinning chain? Whatever you are looking for is available here. Especially, there are fun full-length mirrors, which are really fun to watch your own image in. I really don't remember the last time I had this much fun at an amusement park...

One of the things I liked most about the park was the section where you travel a certain track on toy horseback. You ride a toy horse alone or with your child, and he/she hops around on a rail on a specific track in the park; It looks really fun. Also, your child is a real ponyJardin d'Acclimatation even has a separate section where you and your child can ride horses…

And one in the park canoeing on the water canal There was also an option, but I couldn't try it because I learned about it after leaving the park. After all, you can have a really good time with your child here.

Also free puppet theater and workshops There may also be other activities that may interest your child. Well, DisneylandIf you do not have the time and/or opportunity to go to , it is possible to entertain your child here and spend an unforgettable day together. Or should you bring your child here directly without ever going to Disneyland? 😉

There are also beautiful cafes and restaurants within the Jardin d'Acclimatation; Sitting in one of these and watching the children having fun can be both beautiful and tiring :)

Jardin d'Acclimatation's amusement park is not like those noisy entertainment venues of today; more calm, more serene; Therefore, being here and then wandering around the park and the zoo will be extremely enjoyable for you.

One of the best activities in the park is Mini Train certainly. Porte MaillotIt is possible to reach Jardin d'Acclimatation by train departing from . The train, which is electric today - for ecological reasons - was previously steam powered. In fact, when it was first built, ponies were pulling the train and the rails were Triumphal archIt's up to there.
