An Iconic Destination on the Outskirts of Paris

Fancy something a little different during your stay in Paris? Just a few metro stops from Hôtel Fabric, the Jardin d'Acclimatation is a genuine pocket of greenery where tradition meets modern-day leisure. This historic park, tucked into the edge of the Bois de Boulogne, has been charming Parisians and visitors alike for over 165 years.

A Place Where Nature, Heritage, and Entertainment Meet

Created in 1860, the Jardin d'Acclimatation has kept its distinctive character while moving with the times. It offers a family-friendly setting, equally suited to relaxing or exploring. Rides, natural spaces and seasonal events make it an ideal destination for all ages. The spirit of the place rests on a subtle balance of fun, culture and nature.

A Summer 2025 Filled with Exciting Events

The summer season is shaping up to be a particularly festive one. Until 18 July, Les Beaux Jours en Musique brings the park's lawns to life with musical acts from around the world, the United States, Norway, France, China and England, for an open-air journey in sound.

Another highlight of the season: after several months of works, the Grande Pataugeoire (paddling pool) has reopened, completely transformed, surrounded by four free play areas, a shop and a food kiosk, two new rides have also been added to this family space.

Throughout the rest of the year, the park's regular seasonal events (Holi, music festivals, shows at the Théâtre Rouge) continue to give visitors a new reason to come back each month.
