About
Jardin Berthe Morisot is a small public garden in Paris’s 13th arrondissement. You will find it on rue du Dessous-des-Berges, in a residential area not far from the Seine.
This is not a major park worth crossing the city for. It works better as a local green stop. Its value lies in a quieter setting and in its place within the modern Paris Rive Gauche district.
It suits guests who want a short outdoor break between visits. You can add it to a walk through the neighborhood, or combine it with a riverside stroll if the weather is clear.
The garden is named after Berthe Morisot, but it is not an art venue. If you want to see her paintings, plan a museum visit elsewhere in Paris. For families, or for anyone needing a calm pause in the 13th, it is a practical and low-key option. In warmer months, pair it with a longer walk by the Seine. In colder weather, keep it as a brief stop between indoor visits.
The Concierge's Tip
Go in late morning or mid-afternoon, when a short garden stop fits naturally into the day. This is better as a pause than a standalone outing. Pair it with a walk through Paris Rive Gauche or along the Seine. In warm weather, extend the riverside part. On rainy or cold days, keep it brief and combine it with an indoor visit elsewhere in the 13th or central Paris.

Ask the ConciergeFrequently asked questions
- Is Jardin Berthe Morisot worth visiting during a stay in Paris?
- Yes, if you are already in the 13th arrondissement or near the Seine Rive Gauche area. It is not a major destination park. It works better as a calm, practical stop between visits. If your schedule is tight, include it within a neighborhood walk rather than making a special trip just for the garden.
- How much time should I allow for Jardin Berthe Morisot?
- Allow for a short stop. In most cases, a few minutes to around half an hour is enough, depending on your pace and the weather. This garden is better for a break than for a long visit. It also works well as a pause with children or after walking through the neighborhood.
- When is the best time to go?
- The best time is usually when you are already nearby. Late morning or mid-afternoon tends to work well for a quiet break. In clear weather, combine it with a longer walk by the Seine. In colder or wet conditions, keep it short and use it as a brief outdoor stop between indoor visits.
- Is Jardin Berthe Morisot suitable for families?
- Yes, for a simple stop with minimal planning. It is best approached as a short family break rather than a full park outing. Do not expect a major activity park. With children, it works better as one part of a wider walk through the 13th arrondissement and nearby riverside areas.
- Can you see Berthe Morisot paintings in this garden?
- No. The garden is named after Berthe Morisot, but it is not an exhibition venue. If you want to see her paintings in Paris, you will need to visit a museum. The garden’s role is mainly local and practical. Its cultural link comes from the name, not from artworks displayed on site.
- Is Jardin Berthe Morisot one of Paris’s hidden gardens?
- It can be seen as a discreet local garden rather than a famous Paris landmark. It does not have the profile of the city’s best-known parks. That is part of its appeal for some travelers. If you are looking for a quieter stop in a residential area, it fits that more hidden category quite well.
