Cozy coffee shops with a view of the Eiffel Tower, boat trips along the Seine, and the sounds of French music have long turned the capital of France, Paris, into the most romantic place on earth. Its majestic palaces and lovely gardens are now synonyms for luxury and celebration. However, in 1878, when the first trees were planted in the iconic Gardens of the Trocadero, they were considered a symbol of harmony between different social classes of Parisians, designated to unite the society into a coherent body, regardless of the difference in views and interests. Back then, this marvelous place belonged to the Trocadero Palace, where today the magnificent Palais de Chaillot stands. On the other side, the gardens are bordered by the scenic banks of the Seine and the arched Bridge of Jena. Behind the latter raises the delightful Eiffel Tower, like an airy custodian of the beautiful gardens.

With an area of 93,930 square meters, the modern Gardens of the Trocadero was created in 1937 by the French architect Roger-Henri Expert for the International Exhibition of Art and Technology in Modern Life. Many renowned sculptors have adorned the green garden terraces with their timeless works. Impressive statues of a man and a woman by artists Pierre Traverse and Daniel Bacque, leaning against stone pedestals, bronze statues of Apollo with a lyre, Hercules, taming a bull, and gilded sculptural groups “Bull and Deer” by Paul Jouve, and “Horses and a Dog” by Georges Guyot surround the man gem of the gardens, the Fountain of Warsaw. The long water mirror totals twelve old fountains 12 meters high, twenty-four others 4 meters high, and ten water arches, recreating the festive vibes of the royal court times. The smaller pools cascade down to the large central basin. There, twenty water cannons are installed, emitting water jets 50 meters long. The Fountain of Warsaw in Paris is the only fountain that works as it did centuries ago when the Parisians saw it for the first time.
