The Best Picnic Spots in Paris, According to Locals | Vogue

"A tranquil corner of Jardin du Luxembourg where, beyond the photo‑snapping crowd, I slip further down either side to snag two chairs—one for me and one for the picnic." - Nicole Kliest

One the most cozy and romantic places. When entering the fountain area you find some chairs standing along it and you feel secluded, you can seat and enjoy the quiet place and the gurgling water. Despite being located in the Luxembourg garden, it is aside and a bit ‘isolated’ from the crowds where even locals can retire and relax, read books. Very romantic place!

Beautiful area to sit with the sound of running water. The disco are entertaining for the children and it is excellent people watching. Seats line the side paths of the pool. The draped vines are an inviting backdrop for pictures.

Pleasure to find this area. Well maintained trees and ivy surrounding the amazing fountain. We asked ChatGPT about the fountain design and history whole relaxing in the chairs. Plenty of chairs available- ducks and birds enjoying the fountain was such a great experience- rest of park(gardens) were nicely laid out with view of Eiffel tower. Again, plenty of chairs available- great spot to unwind and see some beautiful gardens and the fountain

The piece stands out for its beautiful construction, reflecting remarkable attention to detail and skilled artistry. A particularly appealing shade enhances the overall impression, drawing the viewer’s attention. Sculptural features add depth and character, contributing to the work’s distinct presence. The playful presence of pigeons brings a lively, dynamic element to the scene.

It is a beautiful fountain within Luxembourg Gardens which transports from Paris to Florence. It is a very peaceful spot where you can just sit and relax, many seating areas available.
