Square Boucicaut - Paris    Share

There are nicer parks, but given that we were looking for someplace away from the May Day march and subsequent protest, this place suited us quite nicely. Very little is open on May 1st in Paris, including the original park we planned to spend our time at, so we headed for this one and we were pleasantly rewarded with a nice little place for a picnic. Alcohol is not allowed, but if you are dicreet and pleasant, you shouldn't have an issue. We we're not the only ones enjoying a bottle of wine with our lunch.

Really nice park with a lovely aesthetic. Has a children’s playground and toilets nearby.

Great park option for families

Very nice an easy to reach by metro

Green grass for picnicking. Lots of benches to sit on if that's not your thing. Includes a kiosk for drinks and fast food. Plus WC.
