Our Silver Paris
Welcome to my Paris travel journal,
where I share our experiences of our special journey to Paris.
Please use these posts as a guide for your own travels
to this amazing and wonderful city!
Or simply read, and dream...
Once we crossed place de la Concorde, we stayed to the right to go through les jardins des Champs-Élysées, with its winding path, lush lawns, and pretty flowerbeds. This would be a great spot to picnic while sitting at one of the benches and enjoying the scenery. These gardens were laid out in 1838 by Jacques Hittorff.
Les jardins des Champs-Élysées.
Champs-Élysées means Fields of Paradise. These gardens are so pretty, they may just come close to that description. Enjoy the scenes that I saw on my September walk through les jardins.
What a sweet walk, literally just steps from the very busy, pedestrian-filled avenue des Champs-Élysées, which is where we'd end up soon.
- Nearest Métro station: Place de la Concorde (lines 1, 8, and 12)
- Cost: free
- What to look for: Grassy lawns, walking path, pretty flowers, benches scattered along the path, a great place for having a picnic lunch; you may also be able to spot the palais de l'Élysée to the north of the gardens.
- Combine with: Make it a long walk and include the outside of le Louvre, le jardin des Tuileries, and/or place de la Concorde.
Treasuring life's moments,
