Where to Admire the Most Beautiful Autumn Colours in Paris
Golden light on the façades, copper-coloured leaves on the cobblestones, a crispness in the air that invites you to draw closer… In autumn, Paris reveals a more intimate beauty. Its gardens become the setting for romantic strolls, inviting you to slow down and see the city in a different light.
From Hôtel Elysia, a five-star hotel in Paris, set out to discover three Parisian gardens where you can savour the colours of the season, before continuing your escape over a meal at Le Bayadère.

Parc Monceau, a Romantic Stroll
In the 8th arrondissement, Parc Monceau makes a delightful first stop. Its winding paths, majestic trees and colonnaded pond create a charming setting, which autumn dresses in shades of gold and copper.
Follow the paths at your own pace, discovering new views through the branches. Fallen leaves accompany your footsteps, benches invite you to pause, and the private mansions surrounding the park reflect the neighbourhood’s elegance. An idyllic setting for a stroll together, away from the bustle of the grand avenues.

The Tuileries Garden, Views Bathed in Light
Between the Louvre Museum and Place de la Concorde, the Tuileries Garden offers another way to admire autumn. Here, long tree-lined avenues open up sweeping views, punctuated by sculptures and ornamental ponds.
As the day unfolds, the light transforms the landscape. The foliage takes on amber hues, shadows stretch across the gravel, and the palace façades appear between the trees. A few moments in a chair beside the water are all it takes to appreciate this meeting of nature and Parisian architecture.
Continue your stroll without haste, enjoying the pleasure of rediscovering a familiar place in the colours of a new season. Art lovers can explore further with our ideas for an artistic escape in romantic Paris.
The Luxembourg Gardens, an Escape to the Left Bank
Continue your discovery on the Left Bank at the Luxembourg Gardens. Around the palace, the tree-lined paths take on warm hues, while fallen leaves create a fleeting tapestry on the ground.
Come to walk, talk or read a few pages when the sun breaks through the clouds. Rustling leaves, footsteps on the gravel and the crisp autumn air lend a peaceful rhythm to your stroll.
Take your time wandering among the statues, then pause beside the large central pond. In autumn, the Luxembourg Gardens invite you to savour the simple pleasures that are part of the charm of a Parisian stay.
Discover the Flavours of Autumn at Le Bayadère
After this escape through the gardens of Paris, Hôtel Elysia invites you to continue enjoying the season at Le Bayadère restaurant. In its elegant setting, Chef Khalid Mansour and his team serve French cuisine inspired by seasonal ingredients and the creativity of the moment.
A velouté of Chinese artichokes with grilled cauliflower offers a comforting start. Scallops studded with truffle are served with a selection of wild salad leaves, while sage-infused, line-caught brill and roasted veal sweetbreads with a concentrated jus reveal further nuances of this autumn menu.
For a sweet finish, chestnut pavlova with pieces of candied chestnut and Bourbon vanilla ice cream celebrates the comforting flavours of the season, while a sablé with almond cream and seasonal fruit offers a delicate, fruity touch.
After the golden foliage and the light-filled gardens, enjoy the pleasure of a meal together, lingering over conversation and sharing memories of the day.
