On the northern edge of the Bois de Boulogne, this historic pleasure garden opened in the 1860s under Napoleon III as a place combining amusements, gardens and animals. Today it functions as a family park with rides, a small farm, playgrounds and landscaped grounds, while retaining period pavilions and a narrow-gauge railway. It sits beside the modern Fondation Louis Vuitton, linking old and new attractions. Generations of Parisian children have known it as a rite of passage, and its ponds and lawns still draw crowds on fine days.
