Bois de Boulogne Paris 75016 +33 14 071 7560 http://www.paris.fr/portail/Parcs/Portal.lut?page_id=6567&document_type_id=5&document_id=8096&portlet_id=14916

This magnificent garden in the Bois de Boulogne was constructed in 1777 in only 64 days, due to a bet conducted between Marie Antoinette and the Count of Artois. Its composition was inspired by Chinese landscapes and imagery, and it features pagodas, fountains, grottoes and vast expanses of flowers and greenery. In 1865 an orangerie was constructed which still houses oranges in addition to classical concerts and expositions. The orangerie has a capacity for 200 seated and 300 for cocktails.
