Traveler reviews
Noemi
★★★★★2 months agoBeautiful gardens to have a peaceful walk, especially on a sunny morning. It is quite a big park and there is plenty of seating to sit in the sun. There are children’s play areas which are away from the main gardens, meaning peace is conserved. The lake and fountains with the palace in the background look straight out of a movie. I highly recommend visiting these gardens - you can easily walk here from the Notre Dame, just 15 minutes.
Rossana
★★★★★4 weeks agoThe Luxembourg Gardens are one of the most beautiful places to relax in Paris. The gardens are spacious, beautifully maintained, and perfect for a peaceful walk away from the busy streets. There are plenty of flowers, fountains, statues, and shaded areas where you can sit and enjoy the atmosphere. Whether you want to take a break, have a picnic, or simply admire the beauty of the park, this is the perfect place to spend some time. A beautiful green oasis in the heart of Paris that I would highly recommend visiting.
