Parc Monceau

The Monceau Park is a leisure garden located in the VIIIth district of Paris. Once in the 'Monceau Village', it was reattached to Paris in 1830.

The Duke of Chartres, future Duke of Orléans, bought in 1769 a hectare of the Monceau plain in order to construct a house there ('La folie de Chartres') along with a vast park comprising 12 hectares that was one of the first Anglo-Chinese-style parks. This place counted with numerous constructions, such as an Egyptian pyramid, a minaret, a Gothic château, a Dutch windmill, and man-built ruins and streams.

The park has been, over these centuries, reconstructed and reinterpreted many times: some buildings have been destroyed or cut down to even half of its size. However, we may still discover vestiges of the original garden: a circular colonnade, called 'Naumachie' of Corinthian style and surrounding an oval pond; or even the 'Renaissance Arcade', a vestige of the 'Hôtel de Ville' that was brought to flames in 1871 during the Commune. The bridge, the waterfalls and the grottoes were built by the Baron Haussmann's command. The park, in which we also find many a sculpture from artists and painters, is a lively place with birds in the trees and goldfishes and bass in the ponds.

Having as much flowers as any other major park in Paris, it is sprinkled with centennial trees and surrounded by luxurious private hotels. Furthermore, it was immortalized, in 1876, by Claude Monet's 'Le Parc Monceau', while cherished by Marcel Proust.

Pariscityvision.com invites you to a whole day devoted to Monet and his work in the Giverny and Marmottant museum tour, with priority access.
