A place worth knowing

A park does not need an itinerary. At Monceau, a short loop and a seat under the trees can be enough to reset the day. Leave space to stop instead of trying to see every decorative feature.

Entry is free. Opening times are seasonal: use the City’s live schedule before planning a late visit. Some paths can close temporarily for works or events. The City currently permits dogs on designated paths only; follow the signs at the gates. Individual rides and refreshments cost extra. The photograph shows the park in 2022.
