The experience
A 24-hectare landscaped park inside the Bois de Boulogne, built around a château thrown up in 63 days in 1777 after Marie-Antoinette wagered the Comte d'Artois couldn't finish within three months. Its walled roseraie hosts the Concours international de roses nouvelles, run by the City of Paris every June since 1907 — the world's oldest competition dedicated to the rose. Peacocks roam the lawns among waterfalls and a Chinese pagoda.
An aristocratic folly garden where the soundtrack is peacocks, not traffic.
