Yes yes, I have been to all of those and lived right next to Buttes-Chaumont. But the city in general always felt like it lacked green space. Especially if you make a large circle around Opéra - for 2-3km you really don’t have anything that isn’t small or full of people.

That said - Buttes-Chaumont and Le Jardin du Palais Royale are some of my favorite urban parks in the world.

Les Tuileries are less than 1km from the Opera. Parc Monceau is 2km away.

I was there 4 days ago. It is far from green. Sure, it's an open space without buildings and has a few trees. It is not, however, a green space.

Les Tuileries is not really a peaceful park, probably because it’s right next to the Louvre. It’s more like an open field.

You're right, you'll have to take the metro to get to one. And with the increase of the price / square meter, I'm not sure we'll get larger green space in the future at least in Paris itself
