Best Parks In and Around Paris, Episode 290

Laura Knott, my guest on today's episode,  has a passion for parks. She's a landscape architect, and went looking for the best parks in and around Paris. Laura made two trips to Paris, the first in Aug 2018 and the second in September 2019. The main goal for both of her trips was to explore parks and gardens in and around Paris. She had learned about those parks in graduate school, so seeing them in person was a treat! Laura travels solo and felt safe everywhere she went in Paris. One thing to keep in mind: when visiting parks you have to remain flexible. Parks can be closed due to a weather event, private parties, or other unpredictable issues.
