The Bois de Boulogne is a huge park within the 16th arrondissement of Paris. Because of its large territory, it is called the lungs of the capital of France. Now it is one of the most popular places for recreation among Parisians and tourists, but only during the day. It is worth remembering that the Bois de Boulogne at night is not the most pleasant place for family walks.
Story
Once upon a time, the Bois de Boulogne was part of the Rouvre Forest. At the beginning of the XIV century, King Philip the Handsome, after a pilgrimage to the north of France in the town of Boulogne-sur-Mer, ordered the construction of the Church of Our Lady of Boulogne in the forest. When the church appeared, the forest began to be called Boulogne.
From the 14th to the 15th centuries, just during the Hundred Years War, it became a habitat and haven for bandits. Then part of the huge forest was burned twice.
Under Francis I, this is already the 16th century, Boulogne Castle was built in the forest. The nobility and the royal retinue began to use the territory for hunting. In the XVIII century, during the revolution, the castle was destroyed.
At the beginning of the 18th century, the territory of the Bois de Boulogne began to be developed. It has become a favorite place for relaxation and walks among noble people. Louis XVI organized a park there.
However, significant transformations took place in the 19th century during the reign of Napoleon III. Alleys appeared in the Bois de Boulogne, artificial reservoirs were created there, and even 400,000 trees were planted. The work continued for four years. A restaurant appeared in the Bois de Boulogne, and later the first Longchamp Hippodrome, and elite mansions began to be built.
During the Franco-Prussian War and the siege of Paris in 1870, the forest was damaged. Again, it took time to restore the destroyed infrastructure. In 1873, a second Otoy racetrack was opened in the forest.
In the 20th century, several fountains, a stadium appeared in the Bois de Boulogne, pedestrian and bicycle paths were equipped, as well as special areas for horseback riding. Now in the Bois de Boulogne there are attractions, a riding school, there are recreation areas for citizens and tourists. 18 cafes are open on the territory of the huge park.
Attractions Bois de Boulogne
The park has a lot of entertainment for every taste - from active sports to more relaxing walks in the surroundings among greenhouses and lakes.
hippodromes
Despite the fact that there are two hippodromes in the forest at once, they perform slightly different functions. In "Otey" they organize a ride with obstacles, and in "Longchamp" races of horses of trotting breeds are held, and competitions are also organized there.
By the way, the Auteuil Hippodrome was once a favorite vacation spot for writers Emile Zola, Ernest Hemingway and Edgar Degas.
Riding schools operate on the basis of hippodromes. If you are confident in the saddle and do not need lessons, then you can take a horseback ride through the forest.
climate garden
It is more suitable for families. There are rides, a room with distorting mirrors, a small zoo (you can see kangaroos, giraffes, bears, camels). The kids won't be bored for sure. By the way, in addition to entertainment, they organize excursions in the forest and talk about its history.
Shakespeare garden
One of the main attractions of the Bois de Boulogne. Flowers and trees were planted there, which were described in the works of the great poet. For example, there are a lot of fragrant roses in the garden. By the way, it has an open theater where performances based on the works of the great classic are shown.
Bagatelle Castle
The neoclassical two-storey castle was built in 1775. In the park near the castle, 9,000 rose bushes are planted, there are irises, tulips, lilies, orange and lemon trees. In summer and spring, Bagatelle Castle becomes a favorite place for walking. Once upon a time, by the way, it was a favorite vacation spot for Queen Marie Antoinette.
Greenhouses Auteuil
They were organized by order of Louis XV century. 1761. The French architect Jean-Camille Formiger was engaged in the design of greenhouses. Now orchids, palm trees, cacti, alocasia, philodendrons, caladiums and other plants grow here.

Here is a selection of long poems about autumn. Short poems about autumn you can see here
Autumn
Immensely bright colors,
Beautiful eyes enveloped the wondrous forest,
Piercing the wind through the heart, with voices,
Testament to your wonderland.
The babbling brook does not sleep yet,
And the leaves are just falling
The same leaf, soaring in the forest,
Flies to the stream barely.
And in the morning the forest, the days are more beautiful,
In a light, hazy dream,
The foliage glitters in the dew,
Dreaming of spring again.
And more and more magnificent is that blanket,
Less hassle and worries
It suddenly became quieter
The last petal has fallen.
Queen Autumn
Autumn comes again with royal gait.
The Autumn Queen asks for nothing.
Proud posture, sky blue look.
Golden dress, thin figure of the goddess.
A gossamer of lace, a glance from under the veil,
And the sounds in the royal hall are silent.
Sighs of admiration - maple cavaliers,
Rdeya bowed their heads in bow.
Curtsy birches do, embarrassed,
Timidly hiding behind a golden fan.
A lace handkerchief is spinning in the air,
On his shoulder, trustingly, he sits down next to me.
Golden leaf, I won't touch you
I will only correct the autumn crown carefully
O.Fomicheva
Autumn. Thickets of the forest…
Autumn. Thickets of the forest.
Moss of dry swamps.
The lake is white.
Pale sky.
The water lilies have bloomed
And the saffron blossomed.
paved paths,
The forest is empty and naked.
Only you are beautiful
Though dry for a long time
In the bumps by the bay
Old alder.
You look feminine
In the water half asleep -
And you will become silver
First of all, spring.
In the whirlwind of autumn golden
The sunset burns with a candle.
I. Bunin
The air is fresh and clear
Flying yellow leaf
No heat, and the smell is savory
Autumn herbs ... Wind whistle.
Autumn, delighting with coolness,
Walks with wet steps
Delight after hot days
A drop of moisture will fall.
Crane wedge across the sky
Rushed into the distance, to the south,
Giving us his bliss,
In the village, making a detour.
Autumn, carefully taking off
colorful sundress,
Before winter completely naked
Marvelous will present his camp.
O. Varnikova
October
Changeable weather in October...
Doesn't spoil us with warm days,
But, nevertheless, how beautiful it is in the yard -
The trees are all covered with lace...
The colorful crowns burn with flowers,
And the wind pulls the flags on the towers ...
And the birds are already flying to the warm land,
And the sky does not skimp on moisture for us ...
So good in the evening under the window
Stay warm and away from people
And admire that autumn dream
With which all nature falls asleep,
Changeable autumn weather
Preparing to surrender to winter captivity,
To give the soul a flight of freedom ...
Looking forward to new changes...
A. Ryazantsev
autumn morning
The yellow maple looks out into the lake,
Waking up at dawn.
During the night the ground froze
All hazel in silver.
The belated ginger is squirming,
A broken branch is pressed.
On his chilled skin
Drops of light tremble.
Silence frightening disturbing
In a sensitively dormant forest
Moose roam cautious,
They gnaw at the bitter bark.
Various birds have flown
Silence their sonorous rehash
And the mountain ash celebrates autumn,
Wearing red beads.
O.Vysotskaya
Good-natured and gentle autumn warming,
The cold weather has not yet begun.
Only the tired green of the trees is fading,
Nuts are knocking dully on the ground.
We live, reveling in the last warmth,
Picking dry fruits -
And we accept the soul transition, fracture,
In which there is no sense of trouble.
We live, accepting the gifts of October,
And we do not grumble. And tenderly keep
The memory of the summer, which was not in vain,
Like everything else that comes with it.
…I don't know what an unidentified God is,
Where is he - in us, or maybe outside,
I just look how the flying leaf is circling,
Dropping onto your shoulder towards me.
Save me, O God, from vain deeds,
Let me live without harming my neighbors,
Give me happiness to step beyond the last limit
With a feeling: it was not in vain ...
L. Sirota
Early autumn gift ...
Early autumn gift -
Blue, clear day...
The shining afternoon is not hot;
No need for heavy shade.
Near the path, under the wild pear,
There is a bench on the grass;
"Sit down here! Look and listen!”
It's like he's talking to me.
Sat. I look around and listen.
I've been sitting for a long time...
Now to heaven, then to earth
I look with gratitude.
No chatty people...
Silence ... Only midges swarm
All about clear weather
Singing over me...
A. Zhemchuzhnikov
Autumn
And again, as in lovely years
longing, purity and miracles,
stares into the desolate waters
ruddy thinning forest.
Simple as God's forgiveness
transparent expands far.
Ah, autumn, my ecstasy,
my golden sadness!
Fresh, and cobwebs shine ...
Rustle, I pass along the river,
through the branches and bunches of rowan
I look at the quiet sky.
And the vault is blue wide,
and flocks of wandering birds
that timid childish lines
in the desert of old pages...
V. Nabokov
In the woods
Leaves swirl over the path.
The forest is transparent and crimson ...
It's good to roam with a basket
Along the edges and glades!
We go and under our feet
A rustle of gold is heard.
Smells like wet mushrooms
Smells like forest freshness.
And behind the foggy haze
A river glitters in the distance.
Spread on the glades
Autumn yellow silks.
Through the needles a cheerful beam
I penetrated into the thicket of the spruce forest.
Good for wet trees
Remove the elastic boletus!
On the mounds of handsome maples
Scarlet burst into flames ...
How many saffron milk caps
We'll collect in a day in the grove!
Autumn walks through the forests.
There is no better time than this...
And in baskets we carry away
Forests are generous gifts.
A. Balonsky
Autumn embraced nature
Taking in the hands of the brush and the canvas,
To color the branches-braids
Stately maples and birches.
Painterly strokes
Change the colors of summer
Multi-colored carpets
Cover damp ground.
Under the ringing sound of the surf,
The hubbub of seagulls, the whistle of the wind
Refresh the palette of the sea,
As a marine painter.
Into the blue of radiant skies
Mix gray colors
watercolor silvery
Paint the first snow.
Boldly, quickly, skillfully
Write a living landscape
And guests before it's too late
Invite to vernissage.
Autumn embraced nature
Taking the brush and the canvas in hand ...
L. Zelensky
gold autumn
Autumn. Fairy tale,
All open for review.
clearings of forest roads,
Looking into the lakes
Like in an art exhibition:
Halls, halls, halls, halls
Elm, ash, aspen
Unprecedented in gilding.
Linden hoop gold -
Like a crown on a newlywed.
Birch face - under the veil
Wedding and transparent.
buried earth
Under foliage in ditches, pits.
In the yellow maples of the wing,
As if in gilded frames.
Where are the trees in September
At dawn they stand in pairs,
And sunset on their bark
Leaves an amber trail.
Where you can not step into the ravine,
So that everyone does not know:
So raging that not a step
A tree leaf underfoot.
Where it sounds at the end of the alleys
Echoes at the steep slope
And dawn cherry glue
Freezes in the form of a clot.
Autumn. ancient corner
Old books, clothes, weapons,
Where is the treasure catalog
Flips through the cold.
B.Pasternak
Leaves
Autumn is crying. Tears sick
Drops freeze on gray glass.
Leaves that have become unnecessary by the deadline,
They die on wet ground.
Depreciated old values
And the crowns were taken off the crowned...
Oh, the eternal formula of frailty -
Doom began to end!
We look at the world in puzzlement
And the smile fades from your face
As if in autumn we are destined
Realize the inevitability of the end.
But flying through the humming winds
And weaving into the carpet of November,
Leaves will tell us,
That their age was not noisy in vain.
Fly away, forgotten by all,
They will tell us, warming with hope,
What is not without reason in the palms open
They caught light for their father's trees.
And calmly leave, sure
What the coming leaves will take
Not counted by anyone, not measured
Their reliable, their sunny work.
Lyubov Sirota-Dmitrova
Here comes autumn again.
Summer days yellowed rustling.
The song of birds at the chilly dawn,
Brings a different sound into the morning.
Sad sun looks down from heaven
Blushing in embarrassment
And caresses the blushing forest,
Our eyes are amber crimson.
We will walk with you along the path,
On which autumn staggers,
Lost in the motley crowd
Among firs, birches and pines.
Clusters of scarlet thin mountain ash,
Set our souls on fire
And touches, suddenly, the trembling of aspens
Us foliage with carmine tan.
Farewell flight of cranes again,
Flying away into the warm distance
Sad dream of lonely fields,
A light haze will bring sadness.
E.Wentz
Autumn
Fog fell on the blue sea,
First-born leaf fall,
And burns in diamonds of frost
Horus leafless crown.
Cold waves go hard,
Violently wind rustles the wing.
Only greedy seagulls curl
On the empty coast.
Only shines behind the fogs,
Like a constellation of the seas
Over loose glades
A flock of late swans.
Only with stubborn rapacity
Their slow departure
Above the watchtower
Wild golden eagle guards.
Everything is lifeless, joyless
In the fading distance
But the sufferer is somehow sweet
The withering of the earth.
Like autumn breath
Beauty from her brow
So shine from my soul
The hand of fate broke.
At noon evening twilight -
Look languid peace,
General sadness blunts thorns
The memory of the homeland of the saint!
Wei with a sleepy song,
migratory blizzard,
The coldness of oblivion is peaceful
Hearts smoldering purpose.
Between me and my beloved
A hopeless "I'm sorry!"
Do not call the irrevocable,
The heart does not bloom twice.
Though sometimes a gentle smile
Illuminate my features
This is a snow rainbow
To grave flowers!
A. Bestuzhev
Autumn
The time of fogs, the maturity of the fields,
You secretly whisper with the late sun,
How to make our vines heavier
On the slopes of the roof, covered with reeds,
How to fill fruits with sweetness,
So that they, when ripe, bend the trunk,
Steam the pumpkin in the width of the ridge,
Make gardens bloom again and again
Where swarms of countless bees rush, -
Let them think that the whole year
Summer will last, honey will not dry out!
Your warehouse is in the barn, in the granary, in the hollow.
Wandering at will, you can see
You sitting in a barn on the ground,
And your winnower blows a strand.
Or in the fields you harvest rye
And, drunk on poppies, take a little nap,
Sparing the flowers of the last stripe,
Or carry sheaves on your head
On a shaky log across the stream.
Or squeeze apples tart juice
Drop by drop for long hours...
Where are the songs of spring? Ah, where are they?
Other songs praise your arrival.
When it lights up the stripes of fire
Above the empty stubble the sky,
Do you hear: a swarm of mosquitoes are ringing
Behind the willows - where the river bank is,
And the wind carries their mournful chorus into the distance.
Then the voices of the lambs will be heard,
So grown up in a few weeks
Robins wistful trill
And swallows farewell conversation!

History of the Bois de Boulogne
In French, boulogne is "birch", but the name of the Bois de Boulogne is not associated with this tree at all. There are practically no birches here. In the XIV century, King Philip IV, having visited a pilgrimage in the seaside town of Boulogne-sur-Mer, ordered to build exactly the same church of Our Lady here. At that time, the oak forest of Rouvre was located here, which was donated to the Abbey of Saint-Denis in the 8th century, and later bought by King Philip II Augustus for his hunting grounds. But according to the name of the church, the forest itself began to be called Boulogne, which in the 15th century was finally fixed by the decree of Louis XI.
During the Hundred Years War, numerous bands of British robbers hid in the forest, especially many people died from attacks in 1416-1417. In addition, significant areas were destroyed due to fires.
After the end of the war, the affected areas were again planted with trees, roads were built. The Bois de Boulogne became the resting place for Parisian aristocrats.
The park acquired its modern look largely thanks to Emperor Napoleon III, who in 1853 bought the territory from the Paris City Hall. In accordance with his desire to create a forest park in the image of London's Hyde Park, the relief was transformed here, many winding paths appeared, artificial lakes with islands and cascades of waterfalls, more than 200 thousand trees of various types were additionally planted.
- The world's first balloon flight took place in the Bois de Boulogne: on November 21, 1783, Jean-Francois Pilatre-de-Rozier and the Marquis Francois d'Arland took off and landed safely on the other side of the Seine 25 minutes later.
- In the 17th century, the Bois de Boulogne was a popular place for duels, not only for men, but also for women.
- The Bagatelle Palace was built on a dare by the brother of Louis XVI in just 2 months, while 900 workers were involved, and the name itself in French means "trifle".
- By order of Henry of Navarre, 15 thousand mulberry trees were planted here - the king planned to create silk production.
- In those days, when there was still a dense forest of Rouvre, the daughter of Saint Louis founded the convent of Longchamp to keep the nuns away from the temptations of Paris. Nevertheless, already in the 15th century, the nuns of Longchamps were famous for their special licentiousness.
- The founder of the temple of Our Lady of Boulogne, which gave its name to the forest, King Philip II could not pray in it, as he did not live to see the completion of construction.
- They managed to get rid of the robber gangs thanks to the construction of the Chateau de Madrid hunting castle - the royal guards constantly patrolled and combed the area.
Nature and active recreation
In the Bois de Boulogne you can ride a bike or walk, there are also special paths for jogging. The total length of all tracks for various purposes is 86 km. Almost all the alleys here are winding. More than half of all trees are oaks, but there are also hornbeam, cedar, linden and chestnut groves. The park is decorated with several dozen fountains.
The largest reservoirs are the Upper and Lower Lakes, but there are also small ponds of Suresnes, Longchamps, Boulogne, Armenouville, St. James. There is a ferry to the artificial island in the middle of the Lower Lake, and you can rent a boat on both reservoirs.
Bagatelle Palace is located in the center of the Bois de Boulogne, surrounded by the park of the same name. Most of all, visitors are attracted by the rose garden, in which more than 9,000 bushes are planted.
The Shakespeare Garden deserves special attention. A 200-year-old huge oak tree grows in it. The Green Theater equipped here hosts amateur productions of plays by Shakespeare and other world famous authors.
Nearby is the Auteuil Conservatory, where exotic plants are grown. The design of the greenhouses was developed by the famous designer J.C. Formiger. The spacious area is divided into sectors, which showcase plants from around the world. Tropical and subtropical cultures are especially interesting.
Horse riding enthusiasts will be interested in visiting the Longchamp and Auteuil racecourses. Longchamp is located on the site where the monastery of the same name used to be, and is used for dressage of trotters. Obstacle races are held on Auteuil. Visitors can also take a horse ride: 28 km of special paths have been laid for this and horse riding instructors work.
On the edge of the Bois de Boulogne, there are the Roland Garros courts, the courts of which are provided to everyone in their free time from tournaments.
Museums and entertainment
The most interesting place in the Bois de Boulogne, especially for visitors with children, is the Acclimatization Garden, or Climatic Garden. There is a zoo with rare animals, attractions, more than 12 playgrounds, and a bowling alley. The Museum of Natural Masterpieces is also open to visitors.
Initially, the garden was created to study the adaptation of plants and animals atypical for Europe to the local climate. Now the focus is more on the botanical garden and the development of children, their interest and attention to nature. For example, the Kitchen Garden is designed to introduce toddlers to the types of plants that can be eaten. And on the Little Norman Farm there is a real well and a barnyard, where geese and ducks lead an ordinary rural life: they go to the pond to drink and come back in the evening. You can also feed goats and rabbits on the farm.
History lovers in the Bois de Boulogne will be interested in the Museum of Traditions and Folk Art of France. It is dedicated to the history of life and crafts of the French people. Here you can see rare exhibits, as well as watch slides and read information about folk crafts.
The Museum of Modern Art of the Louis Vuitton Foundation deserves special attention. It is remarkable not only for its expositions, but also for its unusual architectural design. Initially, the Parisians were against such a building, considering it disfiguring the appearance of the city. And even achieved a ban on construction. But in the end, the building was nevertheless erected and, undoubtedly, became one of the masterpieces of modern architecture, a challenge to traditionalism in art. The construction of the complex lasted 12 years, more than 100 engineers worked on it.
Now 11 pavilions display paintings by contemporary artists, including those from the personal collections of wealthy residents of the French capital. Concerts and film screenings are also held in the equipped halls, and on one of the 4 terraces you can admire the panorama from above and get an unforgettable experience.
The Bois de Boulogne can be visited at any time of the year. In summer, outdoor activities are held here. For example, in the Climate Garden, classes with children are held right on the grass. Attractions and museums are open all year round.
Every year in June, an international rose competition is held in Bagatelle Park. Contenders for victory land in the center of the park with numbers, but no names. Anyone can vote: for this you need to fill out a special coupon. For the winner, in addition to a diploma, a medal and a cash prize, the honor is given to be sniffed by the Queen of England. For this, the flower is delivered to the palace on a special stretcher. Subsequently, marmalade is brewed from the petals according to a special recipe, which becomes part of the Royal Collection of Marmalades and Confitures.
In the Bois de Boulogne, competitions are held annually at the hippodrome: in July, the races for the Grand Prix of Paris, and in early October, competitions for the prize of the Arc de Triomphe.

How to get there
The Bois de Boulogne is located in the 16th arrondissement of Paris. The easiest way to get to it is by metro, Porte Dauphine or Porte d "Auteuil station. From the suburbs, you can take the train - Avenue Foch or Porte-Maillot stations.
Bois de Boulogne- This is a huge park in the west of Paris, one of the two "lungs" of the French capital. From ancient times, the Bois de Boulogne was notorious: robbers hunted there, hordes of the British hid, wild animals prowled. Even today, after dark, it becomes uncomfortable and even a little dangerous in the forest, as prostitutes, transvestites and various informals gather there. But in the daytime it is a beautiful park, two and a half times the size of Central Park in New York. Lakes, hiking trails, bike paths, restaurants and cafes, an acclimatization garden, an amusement park, a menagerie, as well as the famous Longchamp Hippodrome are scattered throughout the Bois de Boulogne. You can’t get around everything in one day, so we’ll go for a walk around the Lower Lake, and we’ll explore the rest of the forest sometime next time.
It is said that in 1814 Russian troops set up a bivouac in the Bois de Boulogne and cut down a huge number of trees. The forest then had to be restored. Today it belongs to the 16th arrondissement of Paris, so the city hall is responsible for maintaining order and arranging the territory.
Here you can see landscapes that are unlikely to be found within a radius of a couple of hundred kilometers from Paris.
The park was conceived from the very beginning in the English style, like Hyde Park in London - winding paths, a large lake, artificial rivers and waterfalls.
For Parisians, this is an ideal place for sports. A huge number of people are jogging - sometimes it seems that there are more people running than just walking.
Yoga, gymnastics and other physical exercises are also a success.
Sometimes you can find people in very strange positions.
On a bicycle, you can go around the entire forest much faster than on foot, combining tourism with physical activity.
The presence of the lake itself implies the rental of boats.
Great idea for a Sunday family outing.
Here, in my opinion, Queen Elizabeth got into the frame.
Those of you who have watched the movie Life of Pi will remember the name of the ship, the Tzimtzum.
Calm, Sunday fishing on the Lower Lake.
A local attraction is the imperial kiosk, created at the request of Napoleon III, fascinated by oriental culture and art.
One of the waterfalls.
Restaurant "Island Cottage" - a real Swiss chalet, transported from Bern. A small ferry runs between the island and the shore, which is visible on the left in the photo.
Natural beauty of the Bois de Boulogne.
A great place for people watching - constantly someone passes, runs, drives. It is very interesting to try to guess what this or that person is doing. Primary school teacher?
Golden youth?
