About:
The eighth arrondissement of Paris, France, is home to the public park known as Parc Monceau, at the junction of Boulevard de Courcelles, Rue de Prony, and Rue Georges Berger. At the main entrance is a rotunda. The park covers an area of 8.2 hectares (20.3 acres).
Hugely wealthy and involved in royal politics and society, Phillippe d'Orléans, Duke of Chartres, was a relative of King Louis XVI and the man who established the park. In 1769 he began purchasing the land where the park is located. In 1778, he decided to create a public park and employed the writer and painter Louis Carrogis Carmontelle to design the gardens.
The Duke was a close friend of the Prince of Wales, later George IV, and a lover of all things English. He intended to create what was then called an Anglo-Chinese or English garden, on the earlier model of Stowe House in England (1730–1738), with its examples of the architectural follies, or fantastic reconstructions of buildings of different ages and continents. It was similar in style to several other examples of the French landscape garden built at about the same time, including the Desert de Retz, the gardens of the Château de Bagatelle, and the Folie Saint James.
The garden designed by Carmontelle was finished in 1779. It contained a miniature ancient Egyptian pyramid, a Roman colonnade, antique statues, a pond of water lilies, a Tatar tent, a farmhouse, a Dutch windmill, a temple of Mars, a minaret, an Italian vineyard, an enchanted Grotto, and "a gothic building serving as a chemistry laboratory," as described by Carmontelle. In addition to the follies, the garden featured servants dressed in oriental and other exotic costumes and unusual animals, such as camels.
As garden fashions changed, in 1781, parts of the park were remodeled into a more traditional English landscape style by the Scottish landscape gardener, Thomas Blaikie.
In 1793, the park was nationalized.
The park was given back to the Duke's family following the restoration of the monarchy. During the Second Empire, the family sold lots within the park to real estate developers, who built luxurious townhouses, reducing the park's size by half. The city of Paris purchased the remainder of the park in 1860.
In August 1861, Parc Monceau became the first new public park in Paris to be created by Baron Haussmann as part of the grand transformation of Paris initiated by Emperor Louis Napoleon. Haussmann embellished the park with a rich collection of exotic trees and flowers, from around the world.
Claude Monet painted a set of three paintings of the park in the spring of 1876, and another set of artworks in 1878. Hector Berlioz was also fond of the park.
