Jardin du Palais Royal

The Jardin du Palais Royale is a delightful Parisian garden in the 1st Arr. It currently, very aptly, houses the Ministry of Culture. At one end of the garden is a cool square with black and white columns – simply perfect for pictures! Once you walk through this square, you stumble into the real star of the show. The quiet tree lined gardens, where on a Sunday morning, you can hear the rustling of the leaves and the chirping of the birds. A happy child’s laugh might flutter past, and joy is carried by the wind. There are benches if you need them, and one of the best of Parisian coffee shops awaits.
