This is an unconventional French park, made in the English style, which occupies almost 8 hectares almost in the center of Paris. From the side of the main entrance from Boulevard Courcelles, it is impossible not to pay attention to the beautiful forged metal gates, which are a true masterpiece of gilding and iron casting of the 19th century. There is also an old rotunda at the entrance.
The park is decorated with sculptures, bridges across the river, rotunda, arches. Here you can see monuments to some artists - the writer Guy de Maupassant, the composers Ch. Gounod and F. Chopin, etc. Previously, the park inspired the writing of paintings and music (for example, C. Monet has a painting "In Monceau Park"). The most picturesque place in the park is a Greek-style colonnade and a pond nearby. The park has not only wide alleys, but small paths that can lead to thickets of exotic trees and palms.
Old-timers of the area grow on the territory of the park: a 140-year-old plane tree, 7 meters in girth, and a 130-year-old maple, the girth of which is slightly less. Be sure to have a playground and a swing-carousel, where it is always very noisy and there are a lot of children. In general, this park is almost always noisy and full of people, many Parisians run here or go on a picnic in the bosom of nature to immerse themselves in an atmosphere of calm and carelessness.
Visiting Monceau Park, you feel a surge of strength and inspiration.
