Alexandre Pilat
★★★★★6 months agoI have discovered le Jardin d‘Acclimatation à Paris for the First Time this year and I have to admit this was Great! Le Jardin is located in Bois de Boulogne. Such a Green and festive Park in the center of Paris so close to the Business District la Defense is unusual and feels really great. The whole family enjoyed it so much for the day spent between attractions, green walks, shows and food pits. Highly recommended. Was very calm on dec. 23rd and the unlimited pass allowed us to enjoy fully and extensively what le Jardin is offering.
