Parc Monceau
The aristocrat among Paris's parks is the Parc Monceau, originally an English-style park laid out by a Scottish gardener, Thomas Blaikie, in 1783 but remodelled by Adolphe Alphand in 1862. It was a favorite haunt of Marcel Proust's. With its sculpture and its ruins it still has a romantic air, and many newly married couples come here to have their wedding photographs taken.
