The Parc de Bagatelle, located in the heart of the Bois de Boulogne, is one of the four poles of the Jardin botanique de la Ville de Paris. Created in 1775, the park and its castle were built in 64 days following a bet between Queen Marie-Antoinette and her brother-in-law the Count of Artois. The park of Bagatelle is a place of walk and relaxation. In addition to gigantic trees and varied flora, small bridges, rocks, caves, water mirrors and artificial waterfalls add charm and romance to the place. The 19th century Chinese pagoda is one of the park’s curiosities. The visitor especially admires a magnificent rose garden of 10,000 roses from 1,200 different species. The park regularly hosts exhibitions and events, and organizes classical music concerts in summer.
