9. UNESCO Japanese Gardens

7ème ARRONDISSEMENT.   These gardens are located at UNESCO, the United Nations' educational, cultural, and scientific headquarters. They follow Asian landscape design beautifully, featuring carefully placed stones and water features, along with bamboo plants and ornamental and flowering trees. A special claim to fame is that the gardens boast an angel's head sculpture that survived the bombing of Nagasaki in 1945. An additional draw is a Japanese fountain designed by Noguchi. To visit the garden, visitors must contact UNESCO for reservations at visits@unesco.org (requests must be made at least three months in advance). METRO: Ségur/Ecole Militaire   (© 10Best)
