8èME ARRONDISSEMENT. In the late 18th century, Parc Monceau was created on the Monceau plain for the Duke of Chartres. It was filled with water features, statues and architectural elements from many other cultures, including a recreated pagoda and Roman temple. Visitors can take time to admire Dutch windmills and Swiss farms or simply wander through medieval ruins. The park became public domain after the French Revolution. METRO: Monceau
