<p><strong>It&rsquo;s hot, the weather is fine, and everywhere in Paris, people are looking for some shade. &nbsp;With more than 400 parks and gardens in the French capital, there are plenty of opportunities for a picnic, a leisurely walk or just a relaxing break! &nbsp;Famous or unknown, cozy or playful, they offer a green break for your days spent discovering the city from your base at the H&ocirc;tel Beaugency.</strong></p>
<p>First and foremost are the large wooded areas of the Bois de Boulogne and the Bois de Vincennes, known as the lungs of Paris with their lakes and their tree-lined avenues. &nbsp;By all means take a relaxing walk through these wide open spaces, but many more classical parks and gardens await you in the heart of the city.</p>
<p><strong>From the Jardins de Luxembourg to the Tuileries,</strong> from the Palais Royal to the Jardin des Plantes (the botanic gardens) to the Parc aux Buttes Chaumont, the city&rsquo;s legendary parks exist alongside a host of lesser-known but equally poetic parks. Try for instance the Jardins Francs-Bourgeois-Rosiers in the heart of the Marais district. The park is made from the former gardens of several mansion houses and is open to the public from 2 p.m.</p>
