Introduction
Oliver Garden is a public garden of about 13 acres located on the banks of the river Seine in Paris. The garden was designed by landscape architect Jean-Charles Alphand, who was in charge of converting land that at one time belonged to an abbey founded in 636 by Queen Sainte Bathilde. Alphand was inspired by the English gardens built during the reign of Napoleon III. These gardens were meant to be natural looking and to encourage visitors to explore them by walking around and down paths covered by trees. The garden is divided into multiple sections, each with its attractions:
Public garden
Olive Garden, or “Jardin deliver” is a public garden of about 13 acres located on the banks of the river Seine in Paris. The garden was created in 1528 by Cardinal Richelieu and was later enlarged after his death by Henry IV for his mistress Diane de Poitiers. It is one of France’s most popular gardens as well as being an important part of French history: it was here that Catherine de’ Medici took her vows as a nun when she married Henri II; it also saw many famous entertainments such as masques and ballets during reigns such as those under Louis XIV (1643-1715).

Alphand was born in 1817 and died in 1891. He was the director of public works in Paris from 1870 to 1878, before becoming a professor at the École des Beaux-Arts in 1887.
Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel
His most famous work is known as “The Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel” located on Place Charles de Gaulle and built between 1806 and 1808 under Napoleon Bonaparte’s orders following his coronation as emperor of France; however this project never came to fruition due to financial constraints so instead, he focused his efforts on designing gardens within Paris’ city limits instead!
Alphand was inspired by the English gardens built during the reign of Napoleon III.
The English gardens were built in the mid-1800s and were inspired by the French gardens of Louis XIV.
The French landscape architect, André Le Nôtre, designed many of these gardens for King Louis XIV. They included formal parterres and gravel paths made from stone or brick rubble on which flowers were planted in rows with a brick border around them.
Hired Designers
Several English monarchs hired designers like Le Nôtre to create their version of an ‘English’ garden (see above). This trend continued even after Napoleon III came to power in France; his wife Eugénie de Montijo oversaw construction at Château de Saint-Cloud near Paris between 1855 and 1860 while he was away fighting as an officer during the Crimean War (1854–56).
These gardens were meant to be natural looking and to encourage visitors to explore them by walking around and down paths covered by trees.
Oliver Garden is a beautiful place to visit when you’re in Paris. It was designed by landscape architect Jean-Charles Alphand, who also designed some of the gardens at Versailles. The garden was divided into multiple sections, each with its attractions:
Central lawn
A large garden with a central lawn and four sides that are broken up by paths covered by trees
Another smaller section of grassy area with benches set along its edges
An herb garden where visitors can pick fresh herbs from pots or purchase them from vendors selling them at street stands (it’s worth checking out this part!)

The garden is divided into multiple sections, each with its attractions. Each section has its unique atmosphere, and it’s easy to get lost in the maze of paths and gardens if you spend too long there. There are so many things to see and do here that it would take weeks or months just to experience everything!
Map showing the location of Oliver Garden
Oliver Garden is located in the Chinatown district of New York City.
The nearest subway stop is 2nd Avenue, which is a few blocks from the garden’s entrance. If you’re using public transportation, take the A or C train to Canal Street and then walk north on Canal Street until it meets with Broadway (you’ll pass through Battery Park). From there, turn right onto Broadway and head toward City Hall Park until you see an alleyway called Oliver Alley; take this one-way street to its end (about three blocks) where you will find Oliver Garden on your right side as soon as you exit the alleyway.*
Other attractions nearby include:
Chinatown Gate (offices), located at 1st Avenue and East Broadway
Oliver Garden is a beautiful place to visit when you’re in Paris
When you’re in Paris and need a break from the hustle and bustle, Oliver Garden is a great place to visit. The garden itself is beautiful and relaxing, with plenty of seating areas for people to eat or just sit back and relax. You can also take pictures here because it’s so nice! If you’re looking for somewhere romantic to go on date night, Oliver Garden is perfect because there are many different spots throughout the garden where couples can get some privacy away from their friends (or family). Even though this isn’t a very large park (it only has around 100 acres), it’s still big enough that everyone will have plenty of room if they want some quiet time together without interruptions by others around them while they’re enjoying their time together talking about everything under the sun—or rather a moonlight!
Conclusion
This is a great place to visit if you’re in Paris. It’s beautiful and offers plenty of activities for young children as well as adults. While there are many other gardens in Paris, I’d recommend Oliver Garden over any of them!
