Parc Monceau

In the 18th century the Duke of Chartres purchased land on the Monceau plain for his gardens. Then it was much larger than it is now but no less extraordinary. It was purchased by the city in 1860. Napoleon III added and redid some of its most notable features like the pyramid, bridge, grotto, and waterfall. It is a very child friendly park.
