A place known from the Middle Ages for its tile factory (hence its name), this vast French-controlled garden is one of the favorite walks of the Parisians. Its perspective stretches from the Louvre courtyard to the Arc de Triomphe; Le Nôtre, the gardener of the Louis XIV, will arrange to place him at the same time at the Grand Canal of Versailles.

This park offers a pleasant relaxing environment to pamper on these green chairs or wander through masterpieces of sculpture from ancient Egyptian to present. It's also a postcard decor for joggers!

The Cité des sciences et de l'industrie specializes in the dissemination and promotion of science and technology to the general public. Created on the initiative of President Giscard d'Estaing and inaugurated by François Mitterrand in 1986, it is located in the Parc de la Villette (a very pleasant place to visit, especially in fine weather) in the ^19th arrondissement, close to the Porte de la Villette (underground parking lots easily accessible). The city is well known, of course, for the spectacularly designed Géode (although it's not actually part of the city), which houses an immersive cinema. Every two years, on even-numbered years around November 11, it also hosts the Rencontres du Ciel et de l'Espace (Sky and Space Encounters), a much-appreciated trade show for amateur astronomers who, over several days, meet up, enjoy lectures given by renowned astrophysicists, and discover all the latest in astronomical instruments (telescopes, accessories, observatory domes, software, etc.). In addition to the scientific areas on offer, a planetarium is also very active and above all equipped with a new ultra high-definition projection system (inaugurated in February 2017, to the 8K standard) with numerous sessions aimed at all audiences. The viewer's immersion is total, with no visible grain in the image and remarkable fluidity. Last but not least, there are regular, renowned temporary exhibitions.
