Jardin de la Nouvelle France. Arrondissement 8, Paris
Everyone who visits Paris wants to find a secret spot and/or romantic interlude known only to them. The small Jardin de la Nouvelle France on the far side the Palais de la Découverte, at the corner of avenue Franklin D. Roosevelt and Cours la Reine, easily meets both requirements assuming you bring a lover along. For a small 1.7 acre park in an out of the way location this particular Paris park draws a lot of attention. “New York Times” writer Elaine Sciolino describes it as a “tiny stage set.” Richard West writes, “A small waterfall, a weeping beech tree, lilacs and maples, a wooden footbridge-the perfect edenic, quiet spot to contemplate whether the poet Baudelaire really wore a green wig.” Susan Cahill calls it “The enchanting Garden Valley Switzerland, invisible from the street, accessible only if you know how to find the path.”
