Nothing feels better than a quick escape within Paris whether it's a quick walk through the beautiful gardens or a spa trip in one of the city’s many relaxation hot spots. Escaping from the city's hustle and bustle can make a day or even a quick hour to yourself the best investment for the rest of your workweek.

If your looking to clear your mind the best places to be are the wonderful parks and gardens. With the city moving so quickly around you it almost feels as if time slows down. You can enjoy a meal in any of these places as well as some company with friends discussing anything that brings you peace.
1) Jardin Des Tuileries
Tuileries is Paris’s oldest and largest public garden that lies right in front of the Louvre. It has gravel walkways that trace beautiful lawns and greenery. This garden gives you an incomparable view of not only one of the most famous museums in the world but also the Place de la Concorde and a little peek at the Tour Eiffel. Many people consider Tuileries to be their lunch break spot as it is right in the heart of the city and many people’s place of work.
2) Parc des Buttes-Chaumont
Not only will there be multiple beautiful lawns that spread across this park but also waterfalls, cliffs and temples. These are rare sights in a city so landscaped with its classic architecture so its important to take advantage of such a view. Located in the 19th arrondissement, you will be able to doze off in the sun and watch ducks swim the lake before you clear your mind on the bridge.
3) Jardin des Plantes
Not only is the Jardin des Plantes a park but it is also a botanical garden. It is home to four museums and was originally a medical herb center for France. You can explore thousands of different plant species and wander through the perfectly trimmed hedges. It is also the perfect place to sit down and paint or draw.
