(Last Update: 29.01.2025) One of the best activities to do while traveling in Paris is, of course, visiting parks and gardens. It does not matter whether it is cold or hot, but especially if the weather is not rainy, believe me, you will enjoy walking around the parks of Paris.
Among Paris's many large and small parks, one of the most worth seeing is Monceau Park - Parc Monceau (Parc Monceau).pağk monso). I am aware that it is funny to write these pronunciations in parentheses, but I will continue to do this in case there are those who want to catch the pronunciation as close to the real thing as Turkish allows 😉

Anyway, of course, if you're staying at the other end of the city, I don't think it's worth coming here just to see this park, but if you're staying somewhere nearby, it's definitely worth stopping by. After all, it's about in the middle of the city. 2 hectares I believe that a green area will attract your attention.
Monceau Park 8. boroughIt is located in and Triumphal archIt is located in the north-east of. Therefore Champs-ElyseesIt is also possible to travel here from here. to Parc Monceau by subway To come M2 of the line Heap We get off at the station. As you can see, all you need to do is go somewhere in Paris. Everything is so easy…

When you enter through the ornate main gate, my suggestion is to start your tour on the left. I don't want you to miss the columns on that side surrounding the pond in the park. In addition, the small bridge, statues and flower arrangements in the park; In other words, everything that should be in a park, or rather everything that would be pleasant to have, is presented to us in this green area.
I would say "you escape from the chaos of the city" as soon as you enter the door, but in my opinion, the city does not have any chaos :) It seems more possible to say "you see the more beautiful of the beautiful".

However, let's not lie, the streets passing through the upper and lower parts of the park can cause a humming noise to reach into the park, which is now a must for people like me who are looking for the most beautiful. disturbing It may happen, but what can you do, we will bear it from now on :)
The area around Monceau Park is one of the most outstanding areas of Paris. That's why you may feel like you're in another world while wandering around this region. Mostly upper class French, wealthy foreigners and from expats consisting of a neighborhood people there is. Therefore, the regulars of this park are the same.

You see, people are running in colonies, the next you see, they are spread out on the grass, reading books or having a picnic. There are people walking strollers and even children playing "ebe tura one two three" in the park. Time in Paris flows calmly, with all its serenity and all its beauty. Actually, this park has a sad memory for me: The first day I visited the park, I was walking around gawking. While I was walking backwards while admiringly taking photos and trying to take in the view from a wider angle, I did not see the wire fence behind me and fell on my back. At that moment, I did not realize how seriously my knee was damaged, but as a result, I was unable to walk for a week. It was all about taking photos for the blog post : )
Of course, Parc Monceau has a different importance in history: On October 22, 1797, André-Jacques Garnerin made the first parachute jump in history over this park.. The place he jumped from was a balloon in the air.

Monceau Park has four entrances. Monceau in the north metro where the station is vicinity As well as the main entrance, the entrances on the other three sides are surrounded by ornate iron bars. The interesting thing here is; Considering the streets between the main street and the park as a kind of private property. I can't understand this.
In Paris, some streets are closed to public use, sometimes from one side, sometimes from both sides, with ornate iron bars, and only those living on that street are allowed to enter and exit with a special password. Maybe city life as we know it is not very common in Paris, but it is incomprehensible why no one in a social state like France raises their voice about some of the streets that should be open to everyone being reserved for such private use. Anyway…

It is useful to visit the residential areas around the park as well as the park, wandering street by street and getting lost among those beautiful buildings; After all, you will end up in a familiar place. at least any metro Once you reach the station, it is very easy to reach wherever you want.
Also, after visiting this park, visit the Far Eastern Arts Museum, located at the Eastern exit of the park, which is beautiful inside and outside. Musee CeruschiI suggest you also visit; besides free.
Pleasant trips, pleasant discoveries.
