Parc Monceau is a public park situated in the 8th and 17th arrondissements.
The park was established by Phillippe d'Orléans, Duke of Chartres, a cousin of the king. He started buying land on which to establish the garden in 1769, and employed Louis Carrogis Carmontelle to design the gardens. He was a close friend of the Prince of Wales, later George IV, and a lover of all things English.
As a result, his aim was to create an informal English-style garden in the middle of Paris.
