| Paris is a large, sprawling, heavily inhabited city. However, amongst the high buildings there are a number of parks and green spaces. If you are attracted to a Paris property for the cosmopolitan busy lifestyle but are concerned you may forget what the colour green is, why not consider a property near one of the cities many parks. Arrondissements 1 to 4 make up the inner city close to the River Siene. Arrondissement 1, known as Louvre, has four parks, Jardin des Halles, Jardin du Palais Royal, Square du Vert-Galant and Jardin des Tuileries. During the Second Empire, Jardin des Halles was formed from an old outdoor market. Honeysuckle, jasmin, kiwi vines, wisteria, clematis and, countless other plants climb the old structures and there are added attractions such as a tropical rainforest, a waterfall and a forbidden city.
Moving North away from the Siene are arrondissements 8 to 11 and 17 to 20. Jardin Atlantique, Parc de Belleville, Parc de la Terlure, Parc de la Villette and Parc des Buttes-Chaumont all exist in this arrondissement. In the Right Bank district is Parc de Belleville ideal if you are searching for a Paris property location bursting with culture. There are numerous Chinese, Vietnamese, and Thai restaurants, as well as a Sephartic Jewish community and 11 acres of gardens and paths on a hill with a spectacular view of Paris. If you love Montmatre but are worried you might want to escape, look no further than Parc de la Terlure. On a sunny day residents in the area can be found in this park, a tranquil hideaway on rue de la Bonne, north of Sacré-Coeur. Of the 25 parks in Paris, 17 are South of the river Siene in arrondissements 5 to 7 and 12 to 16. Le Bois de Boulogne, Le Bois de Vincennes, Jardin du Bassin de l'Arsenal, Jardin des Champs-Elysées, Jardin des Plantes, are among them. Le Bois de Boulogne is Paris’s most legendary and largest park, landscaped by the cities architect Baron Haussmann using London’s Hyde Park as his model. Le Bois de Vincennes is home to four separate lakes and boating is popular so a Paris property near this park would be ideal for those who like water sports.
