Bagatelle gardens, in the "bois de Boulogne" , the "Buttes Chaumont", in the north of Paris

By the way, at one end of the Tuileries garden (on your left when entering it from the "place de la Concorde"), there's a shop owned by some public organism which sell books, maps, and other things related to public parks and gardens...

Parc Georges-Brassens. I love the fragrance garden - and the used book fair, which is there once a week I believe, is a big wallet drainer.

Parc Monceau is perfect. I found it when getting off a metro right in front of it while going to visit a street that had been recommended. It's very pretty, small, great people watching. Also, do visit the Nissam Camondo museum - a real gem. The Trocadero Gardens are also great people watching and the fountains are entertaining.

Another vote for the Tuilleries...

Selecting just one favorite is difficult, because I love the diversity of the parks and gardens in Paris. The Luxembourg remains an all-time favorite, but I have others as well. They include the Promenade Plantée, a great place to stroll above the fumes of ground-level Paris, the Parc Monceau, Parc Montsouris, and one I recently visited for the first time - the Parc André Citroën.
