Though Paris may be known for its stunning architecture, the park is typically where people gather to unwind. Spanning an area of almost 850 hectares, the Bois de Boulogne is the second largest park in Paris. What used to be a hunting ground for the Kings of France is now a family- friendly area well-loved by locals and tourists alike!

With designated picnic areas, bicycle rentals and even a well-equipped playground for the young ones, this rest stop may end up being a whole day affair. Botany enthusiasts will love the Jardin des Serres d'Auteuil, which is a collection of greenhouses with 100,000 plants. The best part is, entry to this Jardin is free!
