Bois de Boulogne

The Bois de Boulogne, a verdant oasis to the west of Paris, covers 845 hectares. Created under Napoleon III, it offers a wide range of activities: romantic strolls, morning jogs, family picnics or moments of solitary tranquillity.

Its tree-lined avenues, sparkling lakes and lush gardens make it a popular refuge for city dwellers in search of nature. But behind its tranquillity lies an eventful history: witness to imperial festivities, it was also the scene of clandestine meetings.

Today, it is home to emblematic monuments, racecourses and botanical gardens. A place of relaxation and culture, the Bois de Boulogne remains one of the capital's green lungs, where the glorious past meets the serene present.
