Musée Albert Kahn

Peaceful and absolutely beautiful!

Would highly recommend to visit this park. You will especially enjoy it on the hot summer day.

It takes only about 10-15 minutes by car to get here from the Eiffel Tower.

One of my favourite outdoor spaces in the whole of Paris. The Albert Kahn musuem is a breath of fresh air and provides something a bit more interesting than all of the manicured gardens in central Paris. A welcome sanctuary for those looking for a bit of peace and quiet.

Best time to come is in the Spring when the cherry blossom trees are in full bloom

Wandering around the gardens made me slightly nostalgic for my home in England which is nestled in the heart of the Somerset countryside. If I'm ever missing home I always come here and pass through the quaint Japanese gardens to the comfort of the English rose gardens.

I can't recommend this museum and garden enough. The museum provides a clear and well-curated introduction to his life and interests. Kahn was a successful banker who devoted himself to cataloging the different people of the world through photography. (His ultimate goal was to promote world peace.) The photography and accompanying film clips are amazing. There is footage of Maréchal Foch visiting the Dakota and Crow tribes, images of Loïe Fuller dancing in Kahn's back yard, stills of the Seine overflowing, vets on parade after WWI... Fascinating stuff. And the gardens are beautiful. You can't picnic in them, but you're welcome to sit and read and just hang out. Considering all that, the very low ticket prices (free for students, 2.50 tarif reduit) make it a great outing.
