A walk along the Trocadéro

During your journey in Paris, don’t forget to discover the Trocadero gardens and the Palais de Chaillot which have been built and developed over the old palace of Trocadero in a way to receive the international exhibition of 1937.

The walkers enjoy the all-seasons charm and warmth of the gardens offering thousands of possibilities. A midsummer refreshing dip in the fountain or skating on the same area in winter, a reading time under a shade tree, skateboarding race in the alleyways, everything is possible.

And for these time-stolen moments to be perfect don’t dither to book a Helzear flat or room, a hotel near to the Trocadero.
