Albert-Kahn Museum and Garden

This place was an unexpected surprise. We passed it by chance, in the area we stayed in for our honeymoon. And it was so pretty, so tranquil, quite romantic, and an absolute hidden gem of a garden in the city. Lovely way to spend an afternoon in the sunshine, and at the time of our visit, there was an amazing collection of photographs from around the world, from a time when cameras were brand new and so much of the world was unexplored. I'd recommend and would go back, next time we're in Paris.

The Albert Kahn Museum is renowned for its stunning Japanese garden, offering a serene and beautifully structured space that captivates visitors of all ages. The garden’s tranquility and meticulous design rival even those found in Japan, making it a hidden gem for lovers of Japanese culture and nature. The peaceful environment provides an ideal retreat for families, with plenty to admire in its artful landscaping. Whether you’re looking for a quiet escape or a cultural experience, this garden is well worth a visit when you have some free time.

A secret hidden place with a beautiful garden, the museum gives you a sneak peak into the various contributions of Albert Kahn who experimented with plant dyes and seeds, built a garden, after getting inspired from his visits to Japan. Reminded me of the Monet garden in Giverny

I was surprisingly shocked how beautiful it is here even during winter. Definitely recommend coming 😌 For me, since I am under 26 y.o, it was free.

Wonderful, beautiful and peaceful place. The gardens are amazing and you can totally forget about the stress of the city life there. I totally recommend it. I'd say it's better in the morning since there's less people.

A botanical gem located on the western outskirts of Paris. An invaluable place for lovers of nature, photography, and travel. I was there for the first time this fall, and since I live nearby on the other side of the river, I intend to return to see the garden in winter and spring...

The garden is amazing for some fresh air and beautiful scenery, definitely recommended for a quite peaceful walk!

Delightful Japanese water feature garden, old trees as in a Forêt de Vosges, all created in the bustle of Paris, separate exhibits on glaciers and photography, all worth a tranquil visit! lunch at the restaurant could be improved.

Peaceful and absolutely beautiful! Would highly recommend to visit this park. You will especially enjoy it on the hot summer day. It takes only about 10-15 minutes by car to get here from the Eiffel Tower.

One of my favourite outdoor spaces in the whole of Paris. The Albert Kahn musuem is a breath of fresh air and provides something a bit more interesting than all of the manicured gardens in central Paris. A welcome sanctuary for those looking for a bit of peace and quiet. Best time to come is in the Spring when the cherry blossom trees are in full bloom Wandering around the gardens made me slightly nostalgic for my home in England which is nestled in the heart of the Somerset countryside. If I'm ever missing home I always come here and pass through the quaint Japanese gardens to the comfort of the English rose gardens.

I can't recommend this museum and garden enough. The museum provides a clear and well-curated introduction to his life and interests. Kahn was a successful banker who devoted himself to cataloging the different people of the world through photography. (His ultimate goal was to promote world peace.) The photography and accompanying film clips are amazing. There is footage of Maréchal Foch visiting the Dakota and Crow tribes, images of Loïe Fuller dancing in Kahn's back yard, stills of the Seine overflowing, vets on parade after WWI... Fascinating stuff. And the gardens are beautiful. You can't picnic in them, but you're welcome to sit and read and just hang out. Considering all that, the very low ticket prices (free for students, 2.50 tarif reduit) make it a great outing.
