Paris is a city that shines with romance and is home to countless historical treasures, but not just the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre. If you want to explore what is unique about Paris, then don't miss the niche museums that are hidden in the corners and alleys of Paris, waiting for your discovery.
But for something very special, you can't miss the Albert Kahn Garden.
The garden is named after its owner, Albert Kahn. A businessman who made his fortune investing in South Africa's gold and gemstone mines, he later opened his own bank, participated in the issuance of government bonds, and was also an avid philanthropist.
He has incorporated his personal preferences into his very own garden, which is a collection of garden styles from different countries and periods: French gardens with large greenhouses, picturesque English gardens, chic and elegant Japanese gardens......
One tree, one pond and one house in the Japanese Garden, all of which were designed by the Japanese designer Fumiaki Takono in 1989, and the wooden red Japanese Bridge has become the signature image of the Kahn Garden.
The Japanese garden features two wooden Bridges, a mountain of rhododendrons, cherry blossoms, a fish pond, two houses, a teahouse and a pagoda that Kahn brought with him on his visit to 🇯🇵. It is a dizzying array of Japanese elements.
The garden is really big, and it has the feeling of climbing a mountain. When you go up there, you can overlook the small stream and the spring scenery, but you can't have a picnic in it.
In tribute to Albert Kahn, landscape architect Fumiaki Takano redesigned a Japanese modern garden around a stream.
Further inside, there was a rose trellis, which was not full in April, and it must have been a beautiful scene waiting to be full. There is a large white greenhouse garden through the rose tyllis. These different styles of gardens have been carefully designed and constructed by Kahn and the Gardener to create a harmonious atmosphere.
Water is the core of the garden and also symbolizes the life of the Kahn Garden. The garden path twists and turns high and low, and the ear can always hear the sound of murmuring water, accompanied by the song of birds, forming a natural symphony. Walking in the garden, change the scenery, the scenery has its charm, it is really a treasure garden! And usually there are not many people, you can enjoy the peace brought by the scenery.
After 6 years of careful work, it was reopened to welcome visitors. The 4-hectare garden in the museum has the garden style of different countries such as Japan, Britain and France.
After the tour, the director of the exhibition hall can directly enter the picturesque Japanese garden: old houses, lanterns, trail stones, azaleas, temples, fish ponds, streams and wooden Bridges. In addition, you can see French and English gardens, as well as a large greenhouse and orchard.
Small Japanese tea houses, wooden doors, streams, rivers, rockeries, wooden Bridges, up-and-down paths in the park, surrounded by various trees and plants, as well as large and small Japanese stone sculptures can be seen at any time, all of which bring Japanese aesthetics to the extreme.
There is also a wishing tree in the center of the park, and visitors will leave their wishes on the tree, which is a matter that people all over the world actively participate in.
Good place for weekend leisure! It is recommended that you go to see it in the middle of the week, just queue up and buy tickets without booking, but you need to make an appointment on the weekend.
