Parc Monceau, English garden in 8th arrondissement, France
The Parc Monceau contains numerous garden paths surrounding a central oval pond flanked by a Corinthian colonnade called the Naumachie.
Philippe d'Orleans commissioned landscape architect Louis Carrogis Carmontelle in 1769 to create this garden inspired by Stowe House in England.
The park displays statues of notable French figures including Guy de Maupassant and Frederic Chopin, reflecting French artistic achievements through centuries.
The park opens daily from sunrise to sunset, with nine gated entrances and direct access from Monceau metro station on Boulevard de Courcelles.
In 1797, Andre-Jacques Garnerin performed the first silk parachute jump from a hot air balloon over the park grounds.
