Beautiful park on the left bank. Lots of places to sit, people watch, enjoy the colorful flowers and take a break from busy Paris. There’s also a little restaurant with of course outdoor seating.

I am not sure about the negative reviews but this is a really lovely park to walk around. So many nice sculptures and little "pocket" gardens. A great place for families with kids. We went twice just to enjoy the beautiful weather. Generations together enjoying the boat pond and the carousel. You can just pull up a chair, sit and people watch. Our last morning was a Sunday and we made a point to go and sit and just enjoy the place. A wonderful memory to take home.

A lovely and historic garden close to the centre of Paris. Sailing the little boats in the central fountain is a children’s pastime that has been happening for a century. The Medici fountain and the Greek Actor are just some of the sculpture highlights. Shady trees for summer days!

Really nice garden! We visited the Pantheon and later walked to the gardens. It is close by. It is free to enter. There are chairs surrounding the pondds inside and it is really nice to sit there. Walking along the gardens is cool too and you can easily spend an two hours, strolling and admiring the flowers and sculptures in the garden and walking around the small ponds, and take pics. It will be a great place to have a picnic in too.

My wife and I went there 7 times on this trip. The garden was kept very well, beautiful plants and wonderful old trees all around. The park is peppered by beautiful statues. Many places to sit and just enjoy the scenery. Loved that place.

These are gorgeous gardens to stroll round or have a picnic in. There are benches everywhere, shaded areas, a wooded area, and a little cafe. No dogs are allowed. it was a really tranquil oasis in the heart of such a busy and noisy city. The Palace is beautiful but it's not open to the public.

Beautiful gardens with chairs available to read, sunbathe, people watch. So much going on. Joggers, Tai chi, chess, tennis, basketball, pony rides and little sail boats for the kids, plus restaurants. Fountains and sculptures are amazing. I returned there many times during our stay.

You get a glimpse into the life of the Parisian intellectual and well to do crowd. Gorgeous gardens, surrounded by several great neighborhoods (St Michel, Pantheon, St Germain etc.). Come relatively early, bring a book, get a chair, relax and look at people. If you have kids you can rent toy boats to play with on the "bassin". The playground is the most sophisticated I've ever seen. They charge a small fee.

After a few visits to Paris we finally made it to the Luxembourg Garden. It has something for everyone. To be sure there are trees and gardens galore but it also has sporting possibilities, statues, a pond for rented mini boats for kids, and a palace which is next to the garden. We walked and also sat and watched others enjoying the garden.

Arguably the best free activity in all of Paris. Beautiful garden - you are allowed to sit / picnic on the grass. Splendid decor and so many chairs everywhere to sit on and watch time passing by. A must do when visiting Paris if you want to take a break.
