The Jardin du Plants is a 20 minute walk from the Cite. It is also close to the Grande Mosque where one can have a tea and pastry in the enclosed garden there or visit their hammam.

An interesting view of Notre Dame as well as a place to study Tango when the weather is right.

The garden behind Notre Dame offers one of the best views of the Seine as well as a sandbox and playground.
