      Yes, so true! I'll have to adventure there and see what the grass situation is like... Thanks :)

    You can sit on the grass at Les Buttes Chaumont

      Thank you! I will definitely have to check out these recommendations. (But the 15th one might take some time/effort to get to haha. I know what you mean about that arrondissement, at least as someone living in la rive droite 😅)

    I could watch an entire video just of paris park recommendations where you can actually sit on the grass 😆

      Oh my gosh, seriously. I might have to go on a Parisian park tour haha.

    🙋 I know! Parc André Citroën in the 15th arrondissement lets people sit on the grass. When I was in grad school, in the summer, people would go there after work and have picnics on the grass with their wines, beers cheeses and chips😊. There are areas in Parc des Buttes-Chaumont, in the 19ème arr. that also let people sit on the grass. It gets really full in the summer!!!
    I have also seen people, from time to time- especially in the summer, sit on the grass in front of the Esplanade des Invalides in the 7th arrondissement.

    Super interesting. I didn’t think you could get a long term resident visa without B2 competence.

    In principle, lawns in Parisian parks are allowed from spring to summer, except during specific maintenance periods. During their winter rest, the lawns need to regenerate after the busy summer season, so from mid-October to mid-April, they are no longer accessible.

    • @hellonicolette
      @hellonicolette  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I had an inkling that might be the case... Good to know that there is a grassy summer ahead!

    It's possible that parks forbid being on the grass in order to allow them to grow back so that they can be enjoyed during the summer. You mentioned Parc Montsouris which is a great one. I noticed you didn't want to say explicitly what happens at Bois de Boulogne. I will say it since I live near there - prostitution. I used to commute to work through Bois de Boulogne and those ladies will be ready to work at 8am. Serious. I do wish the city would clean that stuff up though because they leave too many remnants in the forests.

    So interesting! I didn’t realize Paris would feel that different from the rest of France when it’s already so different from the US :)
