Square Saint-Gilles Grand Veneur, the charming and hidden rose garden of Paris

You like to discover the small secret gardens of Paris ? It's a good thing because we've found you a discreet and charming spot to discover, a small garden that you wouldn't find without looking for it with a pretty rose garden to discover. But shhh, don't tell anyone!

Direction the third district of the capital. On the side of theGrand-Veneur hotel, you have to keep your eyes open. Because several discrete and not very engaging entrances give you access to the smallest square of the third district. So, once you arrive on rue de Hesse or rue des Arquebusiers, don't hesitate to pass under the porch of the private residence which opens to you during the opening hours of the garden: you will discover the Saint-Gilles Grand-Veneur Pauline-Roland square.

We warned you that this was a secret garden! And here is your temerity rewarded: here you will be able to take advantage of a calm green setting, far from the agitation of the capital.
