Where to Unwind in Paris
The Jardin du Luxembourg needs no introduction. It was created in 1612 and has continued to delight ever since. This is a large garden, with plenty of beautiful statues, lovely orchards, a pond and of course a palace.
It’s perfect for a picnic, and especially beautiful around sunset. Be careful though – the garden closes at dusk, so you will be kicked out if you overstay your welcome! Get there early enough to stroll through the different parts of the garden, then choose your favorite to enjoy your bread, cheese and wine!
Tip : There’s a cool little champagne store across from the garden on Rue de Medicis.
