The 10 Best Nature & Parks in Bel-Air, Ile-de-France

June 10, 2021 Claudia Navarrete

Lingering over pain au chocolat in a sidewalk café, relaxing after a day of strolling along the Seine and marveling at icons like the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe… the perfect Paris experience combines leisure and liveliness with enough time to savor both an exquisite meal and exhibits at the Louvre. Awaken your spirit at Notre Dame, bargain hunt at the Marché aux Puces de Montreuil or for goodies at the Marché Biologique Raspail, then cap it all off with a risqué show at the Moulin Rouge.

It's a very big park and easily accessible from the city centre. You can enjoy a bike ride int the park. The chateau and the chapelle is also worth seeing.

Lac Daumesnil

Reviewed By RonCamPor

Absolutely stunning visually, peaceful. A delightful moment of relaxation & escape, if only for a few minutes. However, I spent half of my morning simply wondering the grounds. A light drizzle moved in and though the tourists may have been scurrying away, the joggers, locals and wildlife carried on. I felt so relaxed and unhurried. I watched swans and geese being fed nearly by hand. I videoed a crow devour a deceased rat. Hey, it's Paris. Of COURSE there are rats. A very short walk from Porte Dorée with its light-rail stop - exempt from the Paris Metro Strike - this quick getaway is a spot I shall revisit, once COVID has moved on and I'm allowed back into Paris. I have a new love in my life. She will adore this space. I'm sure you will as well. I bid you Peace. ~Jan 1, 2020

Parc Zoologique de Paris

Reviewed By PaulVuj - Podgorica, Montenegro

Went here with friends on a sunny day in July on our 10 day trip to Paris. We had a great time. It's very clean and well designed, the big rock gives it a real savannah/pride-rock feel. Tropical rainforest inside a big dome is fantastic. Animals have enough space, and the whole trek feels like strolling through a beautiful natural sanctuary. Far from central Paris, it's sheltered from the noisy crowds of tourists. A calming and informative experience. Would definitely recommend to anyone who needs a break from the busy streets and museums.
