Let's go for a walk… out in nature.
We’re fortunate to be located near one of the capital’s largest forests. A multitude of inviting gardens and parks help you forget the hustle and bustle of the city and bring calm and tranquility back into our lives. Whether you’re an athlete, a parent, a child, or a history or art enthusiast… our “green” neighborhood will never disappoint you.
The famous [name] certainly needs no introduction Ranelagh Garden, you should know, however, that it owes its name to an Irish lord who created a ball whose fame spread so far beyond the country’s borders that a Frenchman, Morissan, the gatekeeper of Passy, came up with the idea of bringing it to Paris at the end of the 18th century. But since then, the sound of the orchestras has fallen silent, giving way to a certain Baron Haussmann, who transformed the site into a splendid garden filled with trees, some of which are two hundred years old. And its puppet theater is renowned!
Not far away, on the Rodin Square, The Christiane Desroches-Noblecourt Garden welcomes those looking to get some exercise in the great outdoors, children eager to burn off some energy, or… chess and checkers enthusiasts. Opened in 1972 in honor of a renowned French archaeologist who passed away in 2011, don’t be surprised if you find yourself being watched surreptitiously by a Rodin statue—a reminder of its former name, “the Garden of Place Rodin.”
Just a short bike ride away—or a few steps—stroll through the shade of the chestnut and cypress trees in the Auteuil Foundation Garden welcome you with open arms. And this is no empty phrase when you consider that this garden is an integral part of the Fondation des Apprentis d’Auteuil, founded by Father Roussel and dedicated for 160 years to supporting at-risk youth. There is even a chapel dating from 1925, the Sainte-Thérèse Chapel, whose history intertwines the relics of the little saint with those of Father Daniel Brottier, a Spiritan missionary.
From the Auteuil Gate à La Muette, it's also nice to take a walk along the Green Corridor (or the 16th's small beltth). This old railroad track dating from the 19thth This century-old area, which runs along Montmorency and Beauséjour Boulevards, has been transformed into nature trails, featuring a lovely vegetable garden belonging to the restaurant “La Gare.” And dogs are welcome there!
If there’s one place in Paris that’s a bit unusual but a must-see, it’s definitely the Serres d’Auteuil Garden thanks to its 18th-century architectureth century, the elegance of its “French-style garden,” and its 5,500 plant species, some of which are tropical. This botanical garden, redesigned at the end of the 19thth Designed in the 19th century by Jean-Camille Formigé, it features large turquoise-blue cast-iron greenhouses, a fountain by the sculptor Jules Dalou, and mascarons by Rodin, who needs no introduction.
No matter where you are, the famous Bois de Boulogne is everywhere. Covering 846 hectares, it is one of the capital’s “two lungs.” It is home to other parks and gardens, such as Bagatelle Park, the Pré-Catelan Garden, and the Jardin d’Acclimatation further north, along with the Louis Vuitton Foundation.
The Garden at the Auteuil Racetrack, where 12 hectares are set aside for recreational activities. Open on days when there are no horse races, the facility features three fields dedicated to rugby, soccer, and hockey, as well as a golf driving range and a restaurant. Perfect for all sports enthusiasts!
And that's not even counting all the small neighborhood parks, such as Parc Sainte-Périne, Square Henri Collet, and Parc de Passy…
Finally, here are a few tips for getting around easily.
Since it’s true that getting around by car can sometimes be complicated, here are a few tips for getting around easily and in a more eco-friendly way:
- Public transportation, of course. The capital—and our neighborhood in particular—is very well served by the metro, the RER, the Transilien, the tram, and the bus.
- Bicycles, whether electric or not. Bicycles remain an excellent option, as bike lanes are widespread and make getting around easier. That said, stay safe and be sure to wear a helmet, which is required.
- After all, it is possible to do everything on foot! At least, if you're staying in the neighborhood, since everything is easily accessible.
