Square du Vert-Galant

Migratory birds and chestnut, yew, black walnut and weeping willow trees grace this picturesque park at the westernmost tip of the Île de la Cité. Sitting at the islands' original level, 7m below their current height, the waterside park is reached by stairs leading down from the Pont Neuf. Especially romantic for drinks or a picnic at sunset, it can get crowded in the evenings at the beginning of summer or la rentrée (back to school).
