- HMTWNewcastle, United Kingdom27 contributionsBalm for the soul....What a wonderful place. Everyone should experience it. It is a triumph of harmony and peace in a troubled world. In response to the review a few below this, bemoaning the lack of labelling: from our point of view, thank god there were none! For us, it was a gentle, sensuous experience rather than an educational word-fest. It left us feeling much better about everything....Visited April 2024Travelled with familyWritten April 20, 2024

It is located in Boulogne Billancourt i.e. near the Bois de Boulogne. Very well connected with the metro! Lo consiglio!!!!Visited July 2024Travelled with familyWritten July 31, 2024
- mbenedict2009Paris, France9 contributionsEnchanting gardensEnchanting gardens just outside Paris. You come and come back as the seasons go by to admire the subtle changes. A timeless place where nature also makes us travel in space, passing from the Vosges to Japan. There is always a very interesting temporary exhibition to enrich the visit, the staff is discreet and welcoming. Plus: a small tea room, with terrace, where you can enjoy Portuguese delicacies. A remarkable place to come and recharge and pay tribute to the man who had the masterful idea, Albert Khan. Thank you Mr. Khan and thank you to the City of Boulogne-Billancourt, the Île de France Regional Trip Tip, and all those who are working to conserve these remarkable gardens for the delight of visitors and future generations. Admission is paid but so little and it allows us to bear in mind that thus we participate a little in the conservation of the placesVisited September 2024Travelled with friendsWritten September 21, 2024

The Japanese garden is magnificent
We were surprised to have to take a museum + garden ticket; it seemed to me that entry to the garden was separate
No plan given at the entrance
Certainly QR codes but they did not work
So a quicker visit than imagined due to lack of directions

The gardens are the highlight here. The former home has been destroyed, and in its place is a Contemporary Museum housing temporary exhibitions, mainly from the photographs of the collection. These are some of the earliest color photographs ever made with early color cinematography. The gardens are divided into sections, and each is lovelier than the last.

The Albert Kahn Museum and Gardens have recently been renovated. They are gorgeous. You come here to see photos from a fascinating project designed to capture a composite of the world over 25 years of photography. It began in the early years of the 20th c. and continued to the early 1930's. The gardens have been completely restored and are stunning. It is a bit of a trip from Paris (at the end of Metro Line #10) but wonderful nonethless.

I visited the museum several times before its renovation. Piles of photos were displayed on display, the foundation of this museum. Now there are almost no photos left. it’s digital, we sit and look at screens. It has lost all interest. The museum turned to entertainment to attract the public.

Return to the Albert Kahn Museum to discover the temporary exhibition dedicated to the trip to South America made in 1909 by Albert Kahn. The photos allowed us to discover images of this region of the world and to note the significant European influence on the urban architecture of the cities we crossed. We really liked it. The gardens are still peaceful.

I had first heard of this place from B&B hosts (life-long Parisians). It was a long but interesting bus ride where we got to see some unusual Paris sights (a mini Eiffel tower and statue of liberty). The garden itself is amazing, with three different types of gardens. The Japanese garden was particularly impressive, and probably my favorite outside of Japan. The water is so peaceful. The English garden was also quite lovely. The French garden didn't seem to be blooming much, but that's OK. It was still worthwhile, even while jet-jagged.

Interesting mix of pictures and gardens from around the world. One can spend hours in this quiet space exploring thousands of pictures around many themes and taken around the world. Both indoors and outdoors areas are worth it. Among the gardens we liked the Japanese ones. Booking online by brackets of 15mn and we were 10mn late but could enter nevertheless.

It sounds like an odd combination; a garden and a photographic museum. But once you understand Albert Kahn's original objective of recording cultural difference all around the world. That his 12 appointed photographers not only brought back photographic (the best quality available in the early 1900s) evidence but seeds, plants and designs from areas, like Japan, that were just opening up or becoming popular, it all makes sense. It is a small but beautifully formed experience and a joyous way to spend an hour or so.

On a sunny spring day the gardens were an oasis of tranquility. Beautifully laid out with some parts formal and some allowed to a more natural look. The birds were singing loudly, we spotted a newt in one of the the ponds and the flowers were lovely.
Well worth €8 per person to get away from the hubbub of the city.

The museum is very well laid out and so very interesting.
The Japanese Garden is absolutely breathtaking. We were there in October and on a beautiful sunny day. Plenty of space so not on top of one another. A great break from the crowded must see sites.

Bonjour. Est-il possible de sortir du jardin pour aller déjeuner puis d’y revenir avec son ticket du matin sans refaire la queue ?
Written April 20, 2021
Bonjour, je souhaiterai savoir comment faire pour visiter le jardin puisque d'après les informations ce site est toujours fermée à cause des travaux?
Es possible de venir avec une poussette et un enfant de 2 ans?
D'ailleurs je trouve scandaleux que ça dure des années cette rénovation; alors que déjà avant, une grande parti du jardin n’était pas accessible à cause des travaux! Il aurait fallu laisser au moins le jardin ouvert et s'occuper seulement du musée. puisque la date est repoussée sans cesse.

Bjr, je n'en sais pas plus que sur Google, y étant allé il y a longtemps.

Comment avez-vous pu visiter cet endroit alors que le site est en chantier et ne sera pivert qu'en septembre 2019?
Je me suis laissée prendre à vos commentaires et m'y suis rendue hier 17 février 2019 et; je dois dire, que je n'étais pas la seule à se retrouver devant un site fermé et quasiment à l'abandon.

Bonjour Monique,
Merci pour votre message.
Je suis vraiment intéressé par passer un après midi avec mon épouse dans ce parc (elle adore les jardin japonais) mais cela fait 3 semaine que j'essaie d'appeler et envoie des email sur le site du musée /jardin et personne ne répond.
Donc pouvez vous me confirmer que le jardin est ouvert malgré les travaux de rénovation en cours et de m'indiquer s'il y a des réservations spécifiques à faire pour pouvoir le visiter.
Egalement pouvez vous m'indiquer s'il y a des espaces pique nique ?
Merci bcp pour vos réponses.
Benjamin

Bonjour,
Je suis une habitante de l’immeuble en face du jardin rue des abondances.
Cela fait plus d’une fois que nous nous faisons réveiller à des horaires anormaux, 4h, 5h du matin par exemple, ou bien 7h ce matin (la loi étant 8h), par vos ouvriers manipulant camions, criant très fort sous nos fenêtres, etc.
Lorsque j’ouvre mon volet pour leur faire part de mon mécontentement, ces derniers me rient au nez et n’en ont rien à faire, ne montrent aucun respect pour le voisinage.
Merci de faire passer le message à ces personnes et de choisir des horaires plus raisonnables.
S’il s’avère que cela persiste, je prendrais des mesures nécessaires et radicales. En effet, vous jouez sur les deux tableaux: tapage nocturne comme décrit plus haut, mais également diurne (avec un camion garé devant ma fenêtre pendant plus de 3h hier, manipulant des barres de fer et faisant beaucoup de bruit).
Cette situation est invivable, d’autant plus qu’elle agit sur l’état de santé, merci de réagir.
Cordialement.

Je ne vois pas quelle question est posée? Il me semble que la personne qui s'exprime devrait s'adresser à l'entreprise qui fit les travaux du musée Albert Kahn

Bonjour,
Non, je n'ai jamais vu de pique-nique là-bas, c'est plus pour des promenades en famille le week-end et le mercredi pour les enfants. D'autant qu'en ce moment avec les travaux, cela me semble compromis.
Par contre, vous pouvez aller à l'Observatoire de Meudon (Terrasse, tout en haut de l'avenue du chapeau et passer les grilles) où il arrive surtout, par beau temps, que les gens s'installent pour un pique-nique avant de faire un foot en famille sur les pelouses, le dimanche, et le reste du temps, pour des goûters avec les enfants surtout le mercredi et après l'école. Bel endroit "sécurisé" pour surveiller les enfants... Vous pouvez aussi aller plus haut sur ce qui s'appelle le Tapis vert, la très grande étendue de pelouse bien verte, que l'on peut voir depuis la Terrasse de Meudon. Vous pouvez aussi pique-nique dans le parc de Saint-Cloud.
