Appreciation, gratitude, affection-these are the qualities Parisians bestow on their parks. Beauty, serenity, tranquillity, majesty-these are the rewards they reap in return.
– Landt Dennis
The parks of Paris-the Bois de Boulogne, Parc Monceau, Vert Galant, Luxembourg, Tuileries, Buttes-Chaumont and others of varying size and fame-symbolize man's humanity to man.
