On your way to Roland-Garros Stadium

A boat trip in the Belle Époque
Have you heard of the Lower Lake of the Bois de Boulogne (which Parisians actually call "the big lake")? If you've never been, embark on a boat trip that will evoke the Paris of the Belle Époque.
With its artificial waterfall, its "chalet restaurant" on an island (accessible by free barge with a Navigo, Imagine R or Paris 2024 pass), its boats for hire for a romantic trip on the lake, its majestic swans and, in the distance, the Eiffel Tower that appears at the bend of a tree, nothing is more exotic, in this dense Paris, than this Lower Lake.
And if you're a good walker, you can even walk along it, rather than around it, to reach Stade Roland Garros directly via the Bois de Boulogne!

A breath of contemporary art a stone's throw from the Eiffel Tower
Located in the heart of Paris, facing the Seine and the Trocadero gardens, the monumental Palais Tokyo building offers passers-by an imposing architectural vestige of the 1937 International Exhibition.
Having become Europe's largest contemporary art center in 2012, the Palais de Tokyo houses two museums : the Museum of Modern Art of Paris, in the east wing, and the center of art which showcases the bold work of emerging contemporary artists, in the west wing.
A vibrant and surprising place for an artistic experience off the beaten track.
