It might be a detail, but the two large parks (Boulogne and Vincennes) are within the city limits.
Also I don't know London very well, but from Google Maps I see almost no greenery in the center, while Paris' parks are maybe smaller but much more evenly distributed throughout the city.

Regent's, Hyde, Kensington, Green, St James, Battersea, Burgess, Kennington, Coram's, Russel Square, Lincoln's Inn... Look at all the green areas on the map. https://www.google.com/maps/@51.5160429,-0.1466301,14z https://www.google.com/maps/@51.5160429,-0.1466301,14z
- seszett 7y agoYou have to compare at the same scale though: Paris: https://www.google.fr/maps/@48.85615,2.3306852,14z https://www.google.fr/maps/@48.85615,2.3306852,14z / https://www.google.fr/maps/@48.862458,2.3322563,12.75z https://www.google.fr/maps/@48.862458,2.3322563,12.75z London: https://www.google.com/maps/@51.5160429,-0.1466301,14z https://www.google.com/maps/@51.5160429,-0.1466301,14z / https://www.google.fr/maps/@51.5184651,-0.1436204,12.75z https://www.google.fr/maps/@51.5184651,-0.1436204,12.75z The parks in London just look larger and fewer, not very evenly distributed, to me.
