In Paris and its surrounding region, "donkey walks" (randonnée avec un âne) are a popular and relaxing way to explore nature, though you won't typically see them walking down central city streets like the Champs-Élysées. Walking with a donkey is a slow, mindful experience. They are patient animals that force you to "slow down" and enjoy the landscape. Within central Paris parks, animal rides (like the historic pony rides in the Luxembourg Gardens) have faced increasing regulation and some closures due to animal welfare concerns. Adults are typically responsible for leading the animal. Children can often ride if they wear a helmet, provided the donkey is not overloaded (usually a 40kg limit including gear).
