Parc Monceau (revisited), 8th arrondissement

I've already written about a number of the features of the wonderful Parc Monceau, but I felt that it was worthy of another post. The original creation of the painter, engraver, playwright and landscape architect Louis de Carmontelle (1717–1806) – often simply called Carmontelle – Parc Monceau was designed for the Duke of Chartres in the final quarter of the 18th century. Some original features remain, although it has changed a great deal since then.
