Experience Jardin De La Nouvelle France Day Trips & Sightseeing Tours

Jardin de la Nouvelle France (formerly Jardin de la Vallée Suisse) is the prettiest corner. Laid out in preparation for the 1900 World Fair, it reflects the Oriental’s mode of the time: a picturesque bridge arches over a carefully manicured rock garden, complete with artificial pond. At 1.7 acres it is small, but astonishingly quiet given its proximity to the city’s busiest and most beautiful avenue; its irregular · design also makes for a refreshing break from the obsessively geometrical gardens of which the French are so fond.
