Square des Batignolles
Created in 1862 under Haussmann, the Square des Batignolles is the largest garden in the 17th arrondissement. Its English style, with a winding stream, waterfall, grotto and stone bridge, contrasts with the formal gardens of central Paris.
You'll find ducks, moorhens, an aviary, playgrounds and accessible lawns, making it one of the neighbourhood families' favourite parks. The century-old chestnut trees provide precious shade in summer.
Tip: allow 30 to 45 minutes. The Batignolles neighbourhood, with its Rue des Dames and organic market, is worth exploring further.
