A PRINCE’S GARDEN
Parc Monceau, a historic garden in the heart of Paris’s 8th arrondissement
At Parc Monceau, Paris takes on the air of an English garden. Far from the rigorous perspectives of formal French gardens, Carmontelle designed a “land of illusions” here in the late 18th century for Philippe d’Orléans, Duke of Chartres and prince of royal blood. Several of these follies remain: the Corinthian colonnade lining the Naumachia pond, a small pyramid and a few romantic ruins. The Rotonde de Chartres, designed by Claude-Nicolas Ledoux, once served as a toll house on the Wall of the Farmers-General. The park was later reshaped under the Second Empire by Alphand, who turned it into a public garden, now managed by the City of Paris and enclosed by gilded gates designed by Davioud.
When is the best time to discover it? Early in the morning, when the columns in the foreground are reflected in the water of the Naumachia and the first joggers start circling this popular path. Claude Monet set up his easel here several times in the 1870s. Don’t miss the two museums bordering the park: the Musée Cernuschi, devoted to Asian art, and the Musée Nissim de Camondo, a private mansion dedicated to 18th-century decorative arts. With free access to the park, it is also one of the ideal activities for a family morning with kids.
