Jardins de l'avenue Foch, Urban park in 16th arrondissement, France.
The gardens of Avenue Foch stretch for 1500 meters through the 16th arrondissement, featuring wide pathways, open lawns, flower beds, and thousands of mature trees. The park combines structured garden sections with expansive green areas for varied activities.
The park was created in 1854 under Napoleon III as part of the Second Empire's urban renewal of Paris. This initiative aimed to increase green spaces throughout the expanding city.
The gardens honor notable figures such as resistance fighter Pierre Brossolette and actress Ingrid Bergman through dedicated sections. These tributes reflect the park's connection to Parisian cultural life.
The park is open 24 hours daily with drinking water stations, picnic tables, and two children's play areas available. Visitors can explore the gardens at any time and bring their own refreshments.
The park contains several tree species including Siberian elms and horse chestnuts that have grown there for over 100 years. These ancient trees give the park its established and mature character.
