Nestling at the heart of the famous Boulogne Wood, in the 16th arrondissement of Paris, the beautiful Bagatelle Park and its pretty little neo-Palladian castle were built in the 18th century, in 64 days following a bet between Marie Antoinette and her brother-in-law the Count of Artois, who acquired this estate in 1775.
Full of charm, this place now delights lovers of nice walks and relaxation, who come to enjoy its flower beds and remarkable trees, but also its small bridges, grottos, rocks, water mirrors and artificial waterfalls. There's a wonderfully romantic atmosphere, enhanced by the presence of a beautiful Chinese pagoda from the 19th century...
Yet Bagatelle Park is also known for its amazing rose garden! Around 10,000 rose bushes, of no fewer than 1,200 different varieties, offer a true symphony of colours and scents in the flowering season…
When it comes to events, the park regularly hosts exhibitions and classical music concerts.
