An elegant park, which dates back to the 17th century, Parc Monceau covers 20 acres and feels like a historic upmarket theme park. Scattered amidst beautiful trees and a large pond are various follies representing many parts of the world, including a Roman ruin, an Egyptian pyramid, and a Dutch windmill. Parc Monceau is surrounded by luxury buildings and sumptuous mansions. Stylish, yet tranquil, it is visited by Parisians and tourists alike.
