For over ten years, the city of Paris has been celebrating the art of its gardens with the annual Fête des Jardins, or garden festival. Besides hosting a slew of family-friendly activities geared towards learning and the arts, having fun and the arts, the city council offers visits to a number of public and private green areas both on and off the beaten path. This year’s edition highlights various efforts to protect biodiversity. Though the festival will take place in each of Paris’ 20 arrondissements, the festival’s events village will be held at the Parc de Bercy in the 12th arrondissement. The activities take place September 28th and 29th.

Which city’s parks do you prefer? The grand, wide open spaces of New York City (Central Park, Prospect Park, etc.), or the quant, manicured green spaces of Paris (Jardin du Luxembourg, Parc Floral de Paris, etc.)? Comment Below.
I personally love the Paris Parks especially the Andre Citroen Park located in the 15th arrondissement. The landscap of this park is very comtemporary, well manicured and “organised”. You can also do a hot air balloon ride from this location!!!
Without out doubt New York City Park have a more casual feeling than the one form Paris. I know it sounds “crazy” but when you are strolling through Central Park you have the impression of big free space. Compare to the one in Paris who are very condensed and compact! Central Park is the best…..
