Bois de Boulogne

This place is huge and there's so much to see. Old railtracks, the riverside, a theme park, a Louis Vutton building, as well as numerous open parks and bushland litter the whole area. It's great fun exploring around it for a few hours!

Beautiful green space with lots of birding opportunities. Only downside is the amount of runners here. If you're trying to sit in peace and listen to nature, it can be a little difficult with the overwhelming number of runner's grunting and making contact with the trail

Defenitely worth a visit here. Though I work in forestry so for me this was rather a park then a forest but I loved hanging out here. Lots of lakes and little parks and gardens. It would be great to have more tashbins around because I barely found one.

Location for rugby. Beautiful walk from the station over an aqueduct. Seating could be improved for spectators but adequate for amount attending. Go Stade!

The Bois de Boulogne is truly a treasure of Paris. Just minutes from the city’s bustle, we step onto peaceful wooded paths, with lakes, gardens, wildlife, and open green spaces. We love the mix of nature, modernity and history, from hidden gardens and serene waterways created by Napoleon III, to Michelin restaurants and the former residence of the Duke of Windsor, all on the grounds where previous Summer Olympics were hosted, plus much more. What makes the Bois de Boulogne so special is the balance, as you feel far from the city, yet you’re still in the 16e. It’s an ideal place to recharge and enjoy the serenity of nature right at the city’s edge. A must-experience for anyone who might appreciate a green escape to what we read is considered the “Left Lung of Paris” due to the oxygen produced by the trees, in this area that is astonishingly twice the size of NYC’s Central Park!

What an enjoyment to be in nature in the middle of Paris! Lovely area with several ponds, lots of little paths. We also saw a nutria rat cleaning itself!! See the video attached.

One of the bigger parks around Paris. There is an option for boating if the weather is nice. You can peacefully run, walk or stroll around in the forest or the park side. Or pick a spot and relax with a book and snacks as we choose to.

The lungs of Paris. Massive park on the west edge of the city. Something for everyone, sometimes too much. Great to have a picnic and a bottle of wine.
