The pink sakura tree is one of the biggest you can find in Paris. The first time I went to this park, I didn’t know what to expect. It turns out I saw Kangaroos there, it was totally unexpected! I do not encourage any

3. Jardins du Trocadéro
Trocadero is probably a must-visit place in Paris because you can find one of the best views of Eiffel tower there! After you walk down the stair in Trocadero square, you will find gardens on both sides, where you can just lay down or have a picnic. Sakura with Eiffel tower in the background? This is the best place to go.
During the sakura season, it’s also the strawberry season! You can find strawberry from different nearby countries in Paris, mostly from France, Spain, Belgium
4. Jardin des Combattants Espagnols de la Nueve (Hotel de ville)
This place is actually my first place to see cherry blossom in Paris! This little garden is located right next to Hotel de
5. Square Gabriel Pierné
This cute little square in Saint-Germain-des-Prés (6eme) is called Square Gabriel Pierné, just a few minutes from Pont des Arts, which was the famous love locks bridge where 45 tonnes of love locks have been removed in 2015. In spring, this little garden is full of beautiful sakura. I am so happy to capture this when the sakura when it was in full blossom!
If you pay attention, you will see that I’m actually standing on a book-shaped bench. Such a lovely design!

8. Rue Carrier Belleuse
My sakura-chasing friend Camela found this hidden gem when she was taking the metro looking around! Located in the residential area of the 15th arrondissement, this place is quiet and not well known. The whole garden is made up of sakura trees!
9. Shakespeare bookstore
The Legendary Shakespeare bookstore is one of the most popular attractions in Paris. If you come to Paris in Spring, you might be lucky to see two beautiful sakura trees in blossom right in front of the bookstore. The Shakespeare bookstore is only 5 mins walk from Notre Dame. It probably is not the most beautiful bookstore in the world, but definitely one of the most charming ones. When you are there, don’t forget to check out the second level of the bookstore, you can get a pretty good view of Notre Dame.

14. Somewhere in Paris??
Bonn in Germany? No.
I was thinking of going to Bonn to visit my friend and to see the famous sakura street. However my friends who are living in Bonn went to Oman when the sakura was in blossom. Fortunately thanks to @wonguy974 on instagram, he told me about this hidden gem. There is a street very similar to the one in Bonn, and it’s just near Paris! The whole street was full of sakura trees, it is so magical!
When I was shooting there, a resident came out of the building, and start talking to me, he told me the history of this street and that there is a hotel there. He was so nice and told me there is one more street nearby that is similar. The other street only ha
