Montsouris
A genuine English landscape garden designed in the 1870s, complete with a man-made lake, sloping lawns, and a sanctuary for migratory birds. Students from the nearby Cité Universitaire have claimed it as their unofficial campus quad, but everyone else is welcome to sprawl on the grass with a book or a baguette.
