(Last Update: 03.09.2024) Since most shops and shops are closed on Sundays in Paris, one of the best things to do is to wander around the parks and gardens. And this city offers you many beautiful park options. In this article, we are visiting one of those parks, Montsouris Park, together.
Montsouris Park – Parc Montsouris (park monsuri or pağk monsuği), 14th district of Paris. boroughlocated in 15 hectaresA large area of . Actually Jardin des Tuileries – Tuileries Gardenfrom Jardin du Luxembourg – Luxembourg GardenThis place is a little different for me because it is smaller than , but less touristy. Here you feel like a local of Paris.
Although this park, which has a very cute restaurant and a large pond in the middle, is not in a very touristic location due to its location, I think it has an interesting campus that emphasizes international values. University campus It offers a very pleasant recreation area where you can stop by before or after your visit and "get some fresh air".
On the one hand, passing through the middle of the park RER While you feel like you are in life with the line, it is also possible to find traces of the railway line that lost its function a long time ago.
As in all other parks, here, depending on the season, you can run, read books, rest on the grass, have picnics, with pleasure and joy, but always with pleasure. calm sepenek Watching people enjoying life is good for the soul. The soothing nature of water, the peace created by greenery, and clean air; In other words, the entire ambience that the park offers you guarantees that you will have a thoroughly enjoyable time.
Behind the trees, you can see and feel with your own eyes how the "contemporary" designed buildings surrounding the park are easy on the eyes, while those built in classical style add a special atmosphere unique to Paris.
Since the park is right on the RER-B line, you can directly reach the park when you get off at the "Cité Universitaire" station of this line. Likewise T3a tram If you get off at the "Cité Universitaire" stop of the line, you will reach the same place. There is also another stop of the same tram called "Montsouris", but it is at the top corner of the park. I think it is more logical to get off at "Cité Universitaire". In fact Orly Airport Denfert Rocherau traveling between OrlyBusalso has a stop on the side street.
RER I usually prefer to turn left as soon as I leave the station and enter the park. I love getting lost in the greenery while descending from above. I also get childish pleasure from looking at the train track passing through the middle of the park. And the old railway track right next door The Little Belt However, that is a separate topic of discovery.
Since Montsouris Park is built on a slightly sloping land, the landscape is constantly changing. Of course, walking around the pond is the most enjoyable part of the job, but following the small stream that blooms from the edge, spreading out on the grass, sitting and watching the greenery or just taking a walk can make your day even more enjoyable.
The other day, when I showed the pictures of the park to a French friend of mine who has been living in Paris for 65 years, he couldn't believe that there was a pond here, and even bet me at one point :) Apparently, he had been to this park many times, but since he had never been to the side where the pond is, he said that there was a pond in Parc Montsouris. He didn't know... I'm telling you, everyone's Paris is different, everyone lives a different life here.
As I said, with this trip University campus You can make your day even more beautiful if you combine your campus tour. In fact, just a short distance away is one of the most beautiful and preserved neighborhoods of Paris, albeit small. Orchid StreetYour day will be even more beautiful if you visit . If you can get a little further away Maison de la Photographie Robert Doisneau It could also be a nice option. There is also Butte aux Cailles, Far East District, and many more. As long as you want to travel and see...
Pleasant trips, pleasant discoveries.
