Bois de Boulogne

Paris (16)
Underground: Porte Dauphine, Porte Maillot, Porte d’Auteuil

To the west of the metropolis lies a green lung of more than 2,000 acres (845 hectares). This beloved resort of the stressed-out Parisian offers a vast array of leisure activities: promenade walks take you along the two lakes, and the little palace of La Bagatelle has a wonderful rose garden. The hungry and thirsty can find solace at one of the many little restaurants and cafés. Riders can galop through the extensive woods. Professional jockeys and horse racing lovers find their entertainment on the race courses at Longchamps and Auteuil.
