The Parc Monceau Paris : Paris Tourism

Description

78, bd de Courcelles
75008 Paris

The Duke of Chartres, later Duke of Orleans, built, near the village of Monceau, a “madness”. The comedies author and drawer, Carmontelle, with the help of the gardener Thomas Blaikie, created a garden of dream with fake gothic ruins, a Deutsch mill, a tartar tent, a pagoda, an Egyptian pyramide… The garden was a curious place revealing nature and civilisation charms.

The first parachutist A.Garnerin jumped from a hot air balloon which departed from that park.

Paris sold the Half of the park to the Péreire brothers when Monceau was attached to the capital, in 1860. They built mansions, while the other half was transformed in an English style park by Alphand for the commissioner Hausmann.
It soon became a public garden. Along its calm alleys the park still owns its beautiful statues, its pyramide –made by Carmontelle-, and its “Naumachie”.

The park is attractive for children too : children’s swing, slides, bike roads, and sand containers will amuse them.
