Major parks aside, between the cracks of each arrondissement there are smaller public garden spaces that bloom through the districts; providing a play area for the residents and visitors of the space. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The Â鶹APPian cemeteries are also something many write home about. In a space where death and dull concrete are the prominent themes, nature and life seems to reign supreme. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The largest cemetery in France,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/things-to-do-near-pere-lachaise-cemetery\/\"> P\u00e8re Lachaise<\/a>, was opened in Â鶹APP in 1804 and was the worlds first ever garden cemetery. A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/tour\/city\/paris-walking-tours\/\"><span class=\"s2\">free guided walking tour<\/span><\/a> through this piece of land reveals exactly what is meant by this term. Here, flowers bloom and vines grow wild in every shade of green imaginable. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Also in and amongst the city are a series of impressive parks and gardens, most dating back to Medieval times.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_15621\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15621\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15621\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/panoramic_over_the_tuileries_gardens.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"313\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/panoramic_over_the_tuileries_gardens.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/panoramic_over_the_tuileries_gardens-300x117.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/panoramic_over_the_tuileries_gardens-768x300.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-15621\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tuileries Gardens &#8211; by Eutouring &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Panoramic_over_the_Tuileries_Gardens.jpg\">Wikimedia Commons<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/what-to-do-in-luxembourg-gardens-in-paris\/\">Jardin du Luxembourg<\/a> and the Tuileris are the most well known and draw thousands of visitors a week &#8211; particularly when the sun is shining. These gardens, however, are central in Â鶹APP and sometimes it\u2019s nice to get out of the chaos to somewhere slightly more peaceful. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Instead we retreat to either the far east or the far west ends of the city, to one of two vast garden scales that make up the historic infrastructure: the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/top-10-parks-in-paris\/\">parks<\/a> of Boulogne and Vincennes. <\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">The Lungs of Â鶹APP<\/span><\/h4>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">I love this nickname given to these two natural wonders: the lungs of Â鶹APP.

On the east, the park of Vincennes. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Make no mistake, these <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/top-10-best-parks-and-gardens-in-paris\/\">parks<\/a> are far greater in size than may of the ones you\u2019ll spot amongst the other Â鶹APPian arrondissements. Boulogne is estimated to be double the size of New York\u2019s famous Central Park, ranging around 10 square kilometers in size. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Across town, the park of Vicennes comes in just slightly smaller than the Boulogne \u2014 but no less appealing.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_15620\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15620\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15620\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/35505.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"195\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/35505.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/35505-300x73.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/35505-768x187.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-15620\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bois de Boulogne &#8211; by Bois de Boulogne &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paris.fr\/jardins#bois-de-boulogne_22\">Sourced from their website<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In both parks you\u2019ll find everything you\u2019d come to expect from natural landscapes of this size; lush terrain, lakes and streams, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/why-you-need-to-visit-paris-botanical-garden\/\">botanical gardens<\/a> and a plethora of wild life. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Similarly, both parks house an array of public attractions that draw visitors in the day to day.

The leader became fed up with the remnants of the Medieval era that left much of the city in shabby condition (in his opinion). His solution was to entrust a series of vast city renovations over to a man knows as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/a-visit-to-the-jacquemart-andre-mansion-in-paris\/\">Baron Haussmann<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The developments that Haussmann put in place created much of the exquisite architecture we know and love Â鶹APP for today.

Many argue that this one is undoubtably the loveliest \u2014 I find it hard to disagree. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">There are more flowers than you can imagine, as well as an eclectic array of bonsai threes and cacti.
