This public park used to belong to Colbert, one of Louis XIV's main Ministers, and was designed by Andre Le Notre, the landscaper for the Versailles gardens. This explains why the Parc de Sceaux is a little like Versailles gardens in miniature. There are "jardins à la française", many fountains, and a large canal. Apart of course from strolling through the different areas, there are several events organised during the year, like chamber music concerts in the orange garden, or candle illuminations in the evening. Check their website. There is plenty of room but if you want some peace, avoid sunny and hot weekend afternoons. The easiest way to get there is with the train RER B from the center of Paris. But you can also bike there from the Montparnasse area over the "Coulée verte". It's quite an adventure !

The festival took place in Domaine de Sceaux last Sunday from 15.30 pm under the blooming cherry trees (bosquet nord) with the sound of "taïkos" (drums) and the colourful sight of dancers surrounded by hundreds of onlookers from the Paris diasporora and others. A nice and quite unusual performance in Parc de Sceaux. Jeannot252

Designed by André Le Nôtre, it is also one of the most attractive parks on the outskirts of Paris. Site labeled "remarkable garden".

The Parc de la Folie Saint-James is a 1.8-hectare park, homes work of French landscaping done around 1770 - 1790. The park is close to the Bois de Boulogne and is in Neuilly sur Seine (92200). This park was recently renovated/restored. The Hauts-de-Seine department, which owns it since 1 April 2011, had set up a restoration program to preserve the history of the site, and in particular the presence of the historic traces of the Anglo-Chinese gardens of 18th century. The restoration work began in April 2015 for a period of one year. This is a nice park for a family walk, like many others that are big or small in this area. Note that, even though officially the restoration work was over several months ago, there is still ongoing work. To add to this, there are major road works on Avenue de Madrid currently.
