Spring walks in the 15th arrondissement: where to admire the cherry blossoms near the Eiffel Tower

Categories : Discover Paris, published on : 4/2/25

With the arrival of spring, Paris is adorned in beautiful shades of pink thanks to the cherry blossoms that brighten the city’s streets and parks. If you’re staying at the Hôtel Bleu de Grenelle, located in the heart of the 15th arrondissement, you're just a few metro stops away from the best spots for a springtime stroll in the 15th arrondissement. Here are some must-see places to admire this fleeting spectacle, especially at Parc André Citroën, along the Seine Riverbanks, and in other hidden corners where cherry blossoms create an enchanting setting.

Parc André Citroën: a blooming haven of peace

Parc André Citroën, located along the Seine, is one of the most beautiful green spaces in the 15th arrondissement. This 14-hectare contemporary park offers impressive botanical diversity, and in spring, the blooming cherry trees are particularly spectacular.

Enjoy a springtime walk through themed gardens and expansive lawns where you can admire the blossoming cherry trees. Don’t miss the unique experience of the park’s hot air balloon, which provides a breathtaking view over all of Paris with cherry blossoms in the foreground.

The Seine Riverbanks: a romantic walk beneath the cherry trees

For a romantic stroll, head to the Seine Riverbanks, especially between the Bir-Hakeim Bridge and the Maison de la Radio. This route, popular with Parisians and photographers alike, offers stunning views of the Eiffel Tower, majestically rising behind rows of blooming cherry trees.

Along the Seine, you’ll find several benches and green spaces where you can pause and admire the beauty of pink petals floating in the air. It’s the perfect spot for a photo break or an impromptu picnic with a view of the river.

Other hidden spots to admire cherry blossoms

Beyond Parc André Citroën and the Seine Riverbanks, other places in the 15th arrondissement offer delightful surprises for cherry blossom lovers. Square Saint-Lambert, for example, is a charming setting with several cherry trees that bloom with the first signs of spring. Similarly, the Parc Georges Brassens, often less crowded, reveals beautiful cherry blossoms well worth a visit.

Why choose the 15th arrondissement for your spring walks?

While other places in Paris are famous for their cherry blossoms, the 15th arrondissement offers a quieter and less crowded atmosphere, while still being close to the capital’s top attractions. This walk lets you enjoy the charm of spring while avoiding the crowds of classic tourist spots like the Jardin des Plantes or the Parc de Sceaux.

By staying at the Hôtel Bleu de Grenelle, you can easily reach these enchanting locations in just a few minutes by metro or by enjoying a pleasant bike ride along the Seine.
