Parc Monceau, in Paris's 8th arrondissement, is one of the city's most elegant public parks.

Created in the 17th century, the park was redesigned in a more romantic style at the end of the 18th century by landscape architect Louis Carrogis Carmontelle.

Parc Monceau offers a peaceful atmosphere with its winding paths, picturesque bridges, classical statues and a lake where swans can be seen. Architectural features include a false hill, a miniature triumphal arch, an Egyptian pyramid and a Corinthian temple.

The park has played host to historical figures such as Marcel Proust, and inspired artists such as Claude Monet.

Open to the public, Parc Monceau is a haven of tranquillity appreciated by Parisians and visitors seeking peace and quiet in the heart of the city.
