Escape to the Best Hidden Gem Paris Parks and Gardens

In this Paris vlog we explore the best Hidden Gem Paris parks and gardens. We are retired and slow traveling through and enjoying the Parisian beauty of this city. It’s an enormous city and it can get overwhelming. Fortunately we’ve learned that whichever part of Paris we’re in, we can always chill in a park or garden. In Japan, the practice of being with nature is called forest bathing or green bathing. The most famous parks in Paris are Champ de Mars, Jardin Tuileries, and Jardin du Luxembourg. While lovely, these gardens are huge and filled with people. We prefer the smaller less known gardens. So we take you to our favorite hidden gem gardens including Coulée Verte René-Dumont, Jardin du Palais Royal, Jardin Villemin, and Park Monceau.

If you’re reading this we bet you love to travel.
Comment “I love Paris!" so we can notice you!

❓ Answer to the trivia question at the end of the video: "Originally from China, Dr. Qing Li has been at the forefront of Japan’s forest bathing movement for decades. As the practice’s biggest champion, Li has led several research studies on the mindfulness technique, in addition to writing 'Forest Bathing: How Trees Can Help You Find Health and Happiness.' In an excerpt from his book, Li writes '(Forest bathing) is not exercise, or hiking, or jogging. It is simply being in nature, connecting with it through our senses of sight, hearing, taste, smell, and touch. Shinrin-yoku is like a bridge. By opening our senses, it bridges the gap between us and the natural world.'"
