    One of my favorite places in Paris, nice lake and close to the Bois de Vincennes. There is even a bouddhist monastry. Only hic is that it's always super crowded and you can hear the heavy traffic roads in most of the park....

    (Translated by Google) Statues of Zen pilgrims were constantly searching for the truth through the spectacle of nature; or traveling in the clouds in the sky or in the water of rivers. The work of the Japanese sculptor Torao Yazaki (1904-1988), was completed in 1971. The name “Pèlerins des nuages ​​et de l’eau” was identified by the calligrapher Hiragushi (1872-1979) in 1972. (Original) Estátuas dos peregrinos Zen buscavam incessantemente a verdade através do espetáculo da natureza; ou viajando na nuvens no céu ou na água dos rios. A obra do escultor japonês Torao Yazaki (1904-1988), foi concluída em 1971. O nome “Pèlerins des nuages et de l’eau” foi identificado pelo calígrafo Hiragushi (1872-1979) em 1972.

    One of the best parks in Paris with the merveilleux lake

  • 3/5 jake m. 6 months ago on Google • 27 reviews
    Its a nice park but it's way over hyped. The island was nice and the cave was cool but they are very small. There are also no bathrooms or trash cans. I was told it was a "forest" but it's still a park

  • 2/5 Jukka W. 7 months ago on Google • 25 reviews
    Almost in all surrounding grass dried in mid-July although it has not been a dry summer. Park full of geese and their feces. Rats in the bushes. Very few carbage bins. Potential for a great park but sadly bad maintained.

    (Translated by Google) If you are visiting Paris, you cannot miss this place. In the heart of the bird island where you can admire many species of birds up close. The albino peacock will undoubtedly be the highlight of your walk. Not to be missed for a moment of breathing in your living room. Note a restaurant bar with terrace furnished for a refreshing and tasty meal. (Original) Si vous visitez Paris, vous ne pouvez pas manquer cet endroit. Au coeur l'île aux oiseaux ou vous pourrez admirer de près de nombreuses espèces d'oiseaux. Le paon albinos sera sans doute le clou de votre promenade.

  • 4/5 Laetitia L. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Great park with a very pretty island in the middle. You can have picnics and eat ice cream from the vendors walking around with ice cream carts. On site you can rent boats, but there are a lot of people. This park is right in front of the Paris Zoo. Simple and friendly place but a lot of people when the weather is nice. (Original) Super parc avec une île au milieu très jolie. On peux y faire des pic nic manger des glaces des vendeurs se promènent avec des charrettes à glaces. Sur place on peux louer des barques par contre il y a énormément de monde. Ce parc est juste en face du zoo de Paris. Endroit simpas et conviviale mais beaucoup de monde quand il fait beau.

    (Translated by Google) No garbage cans around the lake, only at the main entrance, around nothing, suddenly people throw their food here and there, and the rats feast in broad daylight. (Original) Pas de poubelles autour du lac , seulement sur l'entrée principale , autour rien , du coup les gens jettent ici et là leurs victuailles , et les rats se régalent en plein jour.

  • 5/5 Amira A. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) A little haven of peace. On the island, you can see lots of ducks and all kinds of places! It is really very pleasant for a walk, a picnic by the water. Those who wish can canoe at very reasonable prices (15 € per half hour for 3 or 4 people if memories are good). There is also a pony stand for the kids but I'm not sure if it's everyday so check the internet ... (Original) Un petit havre de paix. Sur l’île, on peut voir plein de canards et toute sorte d’endroits ! C’est vraiment très agréable pour faire une balade, un pique-nique au bord de l’eau. Ceux qui le souhaitent peuvent faire du canoë à des prix très convenables (15€ la demi heure pour 3 ou 4 personnes si les souvenirs sont bons). Il y’a également un stand de poney pour les enfants mais je ne sais pas si c’est tous les jours donc à vérifier sur Internet...

    (Translated by Google) Everyone goes at their own pace. Some play (pétanque, molkky, ball games, rackets, etc.) others read, take a nap, practice walking on rubber bands. Single people with family and friends (picnic, aperitif. .) laughter of the music is heard the sound of the wind. We see beautiful expanses., Or we can go freely with pretty lakes, people who row on boats, places less crowded too. All in a preserved and maintained nature. Children delightfully discover swans and ducks. Great place, just outside Paris. (Original) Chacun va à son rythme. Certains jouent (pétanque, molkky, jeux de ballon, de raquettes..) d'autres lisent, font la sieste, s'entrainent à la marche sur élastique.. Des gens seuls en famille avec des copains (pique-nique, apéritif..) on entend des rires de la musique le bruit du vent. On voit de belles étendues., ou l'on peut aller librement avec de jolis lacs, des gens qui rament sur des barques, des endroits moins fréquentés aussi. Le tout dans une nature préservée et entretenue. Les enfants decouvrent avec delice les cygnes et les canards.. Super endroit, en porte de Paris.

  • 4/5 Pilou P. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Beautiful area. Pleasant. Verdant. Bcp de zone d'ombre Place Familiar as friendly. Mobile ice cream seller in the park. Possibility of cycling in the park, sunbathing, or eating on the grass. There are water points. A boat company present to navigate on the Lake for 13 € / h per boat (max 3 adults or 2 adults and 2 children). Moorhens, swans, ducks and Canada geese on the lake. Average disadvantages: the little space to park around the park and the whitish ground which easily dirties the feet and shoes (provide wipes). I validate the park and recommend it for all ages. (Original) Très bel endroit. Agreable. Verdoyant. Bcp de zone d'ombre Endroit Familial comme amical. Vendeur de glace mobile sur le parc. Possibilité de faire du velo dans le parc, de bronzer, ou de manger sur l'herbe. Il existe des points d'eau. Une société de barque présente pour naviguer sur le Lac pour 13€/h par barque ( max 3 adultes ou 2 adultes et 2 enfants). Des poules d'eau, des cygnes, des canards et bernache du Canada sur le lac. Inconvénients moyens : le peu de place pour se garer autour du parc et le sol blanchâtre qui salit facilement les pieds et chaussures (prévoir des lingettes). Je valide le parc et le recommande pour tous les âges.

    (Translated by Google) Lake Daumesnil is the largest of the 4 lakes of the Bois de Vincennes. We go around the lake along the promenade Maurice Boitel (painter). The surface of the lake allows to make the boat, very popular at the weekend in summer! Numerous benches line the promenade. Some water points allow to cool off as well. From the lake, there is a beautiful view of the kiosk and the cave of Ile de Reuilly and the Rocher du Parc Zoologique. It is decorated with 2 islands in the center, accessible the first by a bridge from the promenade, the second connected to the first by another bridge. Finally a Buddhist temple is located next to this lake. (Original) Le lac Daumesnil est le plus grand des 4 lacs du Bois de Vincennes. On fait le tour du lac en le longeant par la promenade Maurice Boitel (peintre). La superficie du lac permet de faire de la barque, très prisée le week end l'été ! De très nombreux bancs jalonnent la promenade. Quelques points d'eau permettent de se rafraîchir également. Depuis le lac, on a une belle vue sur le kiosque et la grotte de l'Ile de Reuilly et sur le Rocher du Parc zoologique. Il est agrémenté de 2 îles au centre, accessibles la 1ère par un pont depuis la promenade, la seconde reliée à la 1ère par un autre pont. Enfin un temple bouddhique se trouve à côté de ce lac.
