Parc Montsouris

This is a really nice park where you can bring your dog on a leash. It's a pity they don't allow dogs off leash here during specific times in a specific area as it really is enormous. This is ideal for people with children as there is heaps of play areas. Lots of little cafes as well. Good also if you are a trail runner and looking for some smaller challenging runs in the city

Parc Montsouris is a true oasis in Paris. Tucked away from the bustling city, it's incredibly peaceful and serene. The expansive green lawns, beautiful lake, and winding paths create the perfect setting for a relaxing walk or quiet picnic. Whether you're looking to unwind with a book under a tree or simply enjoy the tranquility of nature, this park is the ideal spot. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a peaceful escape within the city.

Beautiful park, super nice landscaping. It gets a bit crowded on hot days, since it’s the only green spot in this area of town. Great for kids. They have games, both free and paid. Lots of space to play with balls. It’s a pity they close so early during winter, you can’t even take a stroll after work. They also close it with some wind, so check before going.

Parc Montsouris, in Paris’s 14th arrondissement, is a tranquil, English-style park with winding paths, a scenic lake, and abundant bird life. Designed by Alphand under Napoleon III, it features sprawling lawns, sculptures, and lush trees, making it popular among locals and students. Near the Rue Nansouty entrance, there’s a playground with swings and slides for children, plus a carousel and open lawns perfect for family picnics. A quieter alternative to central parks, Montsouris offers classic Parisian charm and beauty, especially in spring and fall.

I wanted to take a quiet stroll at the end of long day, so I chose Parc Montsouris because it was a short bus ride from my hotel. It was the best choice I could have made. The park has beautiful naturalistic landscaping and wide, winding paths that are ideal for leisurely walks. There was also an eerie art installation in the large pond that features some ghostly, fairy-like beings. Seeing it at dusk made the experience all the more haunting & memorable. Parc Montsouris is ideal for picnics, running, bird watching, strolling, sitting on a bench to enjoy a good book or hang out with a friend.

Beautiful little (not too) park. A lot of grass space to hangout with friends, a lake, a walking path around the park. Not a tourist park. Obviously, with many things to do in Paris, coming out to the 14ieme might not be high on the list but if you've been many times, a great park to run in or hangout with friends.

Beautiful park! With a lovely atmosphere. I like bird watching and was lucky to find different birdies at the spot.

Beautiful parc, with lovely grassy areas for picnicking & for children to run around on! The flowers were so pretty! The vibrant colours and variety were very pleasant. We were also fortunate enough to have spotted the green parakeets! Beautiful & wonderful visit!

Yay for Parc Montsouris! And recently oh so beautiful under the snow. Running paths are all over the place, the park is well kept. Dogs allowed (but not on the grass and always leashed....unless you break the rules ;).....) Its a great spot for a summer picnic.

This free park and garden is a beautiful escape from the ravages of the City of Lights. Paris, like NYC in the states to me, will captivate you. It will also wear you out and beat you senseless and emotionless. Come to Montsouris for relief. Take a stroll. Take a jog. Watch a rugby or soccer team work out. Read a book on a bench. Sunbathe. It is worth the time to decompress in this sanctuary in the city.

Parc Montsouris is so beautiful. I was a lucky gal at CU once, and spent time there nearly every day. The running paths are so nice and convenient. The landscape offers acres of lounging and recreational space. And, it is one of the best places to sketch in the 14th. Also, it is right next to RER B.

I have eaten many lunches in this park and I must say, its really quite nice. If your in the area, I recommend checking it out.
