Parc Bagatelle - la Roseraie

This park is truly a slice of paradise! To fully immerse yourself in its beauty, plan to spend at least three hours exploring all its wonders. You won't want to rush through this enchanting experience!

Bagatelle Park, located in the Bois de Boulogne in Paris, is famous for its rose garden (la Roseraie), one of the most beautiful in the world. Its history began in 1777 with a bet between Marie Antoinette and the Count ofArtois, the brother of King Louis XVI. The Count bet that he would build an entire park with a castle in 64 days, which he did. The modern rose garden was established in 1905 and today covers an area of approximately 1.7 hectares. It houses a unique collection of over 10,000 rose bushes, representing approximately 1,200 different species and varieties of roses, ranging from ancient to modern. The highlight of the year is the International Rose Competition, which has been held since 1907, where breeders from around the world showcase their latest creations. The park is designed in an Anglo-Chinese landscape style and is famous not only for its roses, but also for its picturesque ponds, grottoes, peacocks, and elegant bridges. It is a true botanical masterpiece and an oasis of tranquility that attracts lovers of beauty and garden art.

Amazing place , very peaceful. Love the waterfalls and the 🦚! The architecture is beautiful too. Concert should be outdoors not inside This very hot place without AC !

The week end of the rose and the weeks around it are a unique opportunity to visit the place . All are blooming , with yearly competition. And then the birds , the scent . A pure marvel. But the gardens are beautiful in all seasons …

A lovely parc Floral to escape to when city life becomes too loud or too speed. Beautiful flowers everywhere, peacocks...water ponds. Protect that place because it is one of the most beautiful Green spaces still existing in Paris.

My favourite park in Paris. It’s got different areas with beautiful foliage and buildings, and peacocks just walking around. Don’t miss the mini waterfall to the west side of the park!

Such a calm park to spend time .Its really awesome that you can walk or rest between peacocks and other birds

The garden was nice. There are different sections like rose garden, tulips garden waterfall and more. There’s a hill you can go there and have a beautiful park and city view. In the garden you’ll see a lot of birds and cats . Fun fact there are a lot of cats in the park. The worst thing about the park was service area or bathroom. They were so dirty. The problem was not people using them dirty it was luck of care. The garbage cans were full and not enough.

I went on Wednesday & it was so warm & sunny outside! The gardens here are beautiful!

This is my favourite place in the whole of Paris. If it were my birthday I would want to come here, if I were getting married I would want to come here, no matter the celebration I would always choose the Parc de Bagatelle. If I could live here I'd move in a heartbeat! I came here with my two housemates last year and we had a magical time. We took a picnic blanket and spent the day exploring the gardens which didn't stop surprising us every few minutes with new corners to uncover. Dotted with pagodas and peacocks its impossible not to fall under its charm. It's a little off the beaten track; I managed to live in the 16th arrondissement for a year without realising it was home to this hidden gem. Nonetheless its absolutely worth the little extra effort!
