Outdoor Paris

Together with its historical heritage and fine architecture, Paris is also typified by culturally-rich gardens with a variety of stylistic influences. Paris claims no fewer than 465 parks and 484,000 trees in those parks, along streets and roads, schoolyards and walkways. This makes walking, cycling (there is a citywide bicycle rental scheme) or roller-blading a pleasure.

Parisian neighbourhoods also have their small public gardens known as squares. They are sometimes difficult to spot, consequently some are busier than others. These squares can be described as oases of greenery. They are popular both with Parisians and visitors, particularly at lunchtime, as well as children and romantic couples.

The river Seine runs for 13km through Paris, crossed by 37 bridges. The most recent built was the passerelle Simone-de-Beauvoir (July 2006), linking the parc de Bercy on one side of the river to the square fronting the Bibliothèque nationale de France in the 13th arrondissement. This is the fourth bridge for pedestrians, cyclists and skaters - the others being the passerelle des Arts, the passerelle Debilly and the passerelle Senghor.

Paris is famous for outdoor art dotted around public spaces in the city. They include famous items such as Buren’s columns in the gardens of the Palais-Royal and little-known artwork such as the 135 Arago medallions set into the ground along the Paris meridian by Dutch artist Jan Dibbets. Alongside the Pompidou Centre, the Stravinsky fountain (designed by Niki de Saint Phalle and Jean Tinguely) squirts playfully, while Auguste Rodin’s statue of Balzac is a landmark in the boulevard Raspail.
