Champ de Mars

  Champ de Mars sits directly across from the iconic Eiffel Tower, stretching over 600 meters in Paris' 7th arrondissement. Dating back to the 18th century, it was originally used as a drill ground for military exercises, hence its name, which translates to "Field of Mars." Today, this expansive park offers visitors lush lawns, tree-lined pathways, and stunning views of the tower, making it a popular spot for picnics and leisurely strolls. In April, cherry blossoms bloom, creating a picturesque scene that attracts many photographers and families. While there, be sure to enjoy a game of pétanque or simply relax on one of the many benches as you take in the vibrant atmosphere.
