This is one of the most beautiful and unique gardens in Paris (and one of the most beloved by Joel TamanlisThis is a truly magical park. Staying there makes us completely forget that we are in the heart of a large, bustling city. Most tourists are unaware of its existence. The park has an artificial mountain structure and an impressive panoramic view. You can find all the ingredients that a garden needs to be magnificent:
Artificial mountains and valleys, a spectacular lake, bridges, a cave, a waterfall, a cliff and at the top a small temple in the ancient Roman style from which there is a spectacular view towards the Sacré-Cœur church. Do not miss out on visiting the waterfall located inside a cave next to the lake at the foot of the cliff on which the Roman temple is located. Sometimes it is a bit difficult to locate the waterfall – follow the sound of the flowing water. The ceiling of the cave is covered with artificial stalactites. Simply a little paradise in the heart of Paris.
