Jardin de l'Hôtel de Sens, Urban park in the 4th arrondissement of Paris, France

Jardin de l'Hôtel de Sens is a 6,200 m² public garden in the Saint-Gervais quarter of Paris's 4th arrondissement, entered through the building at 7, rue des Nonnains-d'Hyères. It is laid out as a French-style garden: low clipped green hedges form narrow rectangular strips and blocks in a repeating geometric pattern across pale gravel, with rounded grey-green shrubs and scattered yellow and white flowers in the beds. A short stone stairway with a simple balustrade separates the garden from a lawn and taller hedges.

The garden was created in 1957 on the grounds of the Hôtel de Sens, the residence of the archbishops of Sens. The garden entrance is at 7, rue des Nonnains-d'Hyères in the 4th arrondissement, in the Saint-Gervais quarter.

The garden is reached through a passage at 7, rue des Nonnains-d'Hyères, in the Saint-Gervais quarter; the archbishops of Sens owned this ground next to their Paris residence. The lawn and clipped hedges sit behind the Hôtel de Sens, whose brick and stone front faces the rue du Figuier.

The garden entrance is at 7, rue des Nonnains-d'Hyères in the 4th arrondissement, in the Saint-Gervais quarter. Metro line 7 stops at Pont Marie, a short walk away. The garden covers 6,200 m², so allow time to walk its gravel paths between the clipped beds.

The garden adheres to French design principles with geometric beds that display changing seasonal flowers throughout the year. This regular replanting means each visit reveals a slightly different arrangement and color palette.
