Many people don’t know that on the outskirts of Paris lies a veritable green lung of 865 hectares, the Bois de Boulogne.

It is what remains today of the old Foret du Rouvre, replaced and reworked by the architect Haussmann (creator of the grand boulevards) to recreate the Parisian version of Hyde Park in London.

The Baron had 400,000 trees planted there for about 125 hectares of forest. Today, it is a retreat for Parisians at weekends thanks to its 15 km of cycle paths and 28 km of bridle paths.

It is a great alternative for an afternoon outdoors in the green: here you can go cycling, picnicking, horseback riding or boating.

Things to do

Remember not to linger in the evening hours around the Etang des Reservoirs and along Allée de Longchamps: this is where the area’s prostitutes are concentrated.
