Has anyone been to Parc Monceau?

The website for the park gives an excellent description, including the exact location. Once you know that it will be easy to figure out how to get there from wherever you are in Paris (which you did not tell us).

It's absolutely charming, less crowded than most other parks, and a sweet respite from pedestrian and auto traffic near Etoile. It is not (unlike, say, the Tuilleries or Luxembourg) worth a special expedition. There are two smaller museums near it, and a modest amount of window-shopping. But I think the large gourmet shop nearby went out of business.

You can use Google Maps to answer most of your travel questions, applying it to your hotel address, and so on.

Ann,

I'm planning on going to Parc Monceau next week while I'm in Paris. I'm pairing it with a trip to the Nissim de Camondo museum, which I've heard is fabulous. It's covered by the museum pass, which is nice.

Ann, the Parc Monceau and Nissim Camando were on our list, but we didn't have enough time that day-surprise! We did manage to get to Musee de la Contrefacon-the Museum of Counterfeits, and that was quite a site. All the things you would assume-Chanel, Hermes, and iPhones shown with genuine and faux examples. But there are also counterfeit chainsaws, auto parts, baby food, Evian, fancy champagne, and more, all nicely displayed in a beautiful building in the 16th.
After that we went to the huge Bois de Bolougne, rented a rowboat and had a blast paddling around with locals, then went to see the new Louis Vuitton Foundation building there in the park, a real stunner of a building that's set to open to the public late this month. There was also a brocante that day in one of the parking lots, and we bought a bunch of French stuff to bring home-picked up an extra rolling bag to check on the flight home. A fine day in a great part of the city.

I'm lucky to live near the Parc Monceau, so I'm a bit prejudiced about it, but it is well worth a visit if you happen to be in the neighborhood. It isn't as large as the Luxembourg, but it is equally lovely. It used to be a quiet place, but this summer I noticed a huge increase in the number of visitors, picnicking on the grass (not allowed at the Luxembourg). The city museum of Asian art, the Cernuschi, faces the park: http://www.cernuschi.paris.fr/en/home
Other museums nearby are the Nissim Camondo and the Jacquemart-André, which has a good tea room. Just outside the park is a group of Lebanese restaurants, all owned by the Rimal family, and all very good.

The Nissim de Camondo is one of my favorite places to visit. It's the former mansion of a very wealthy family. A "do not miss" if you like beautiful old stately homes that give you a window into the past.

I LOVE the Luxembourg Gardens and have spent entire days there. It's beyond wonderful. Parc Monceau is nice. It's pretty and worth a look if you're nearby.
It's close to the Arc de Triomphe. There is a great cafe at Place Rio de Janeiro, a half block from the Nissim de Camondo.

Had to add after reading Terry's post, there is a very large grass area in the Luxembourg Gardens where you can sit on the grass and have a picnic. They also have lots of super comfortable chairs to sit on, and you can move them to wherever you want. I only recall benches in Parc Monceau.
