The chateau is actually more like a mansion, it’s impressive and looks chateau-like but it’s small and intimate in the inside. The colors have been brought back to the originals in a recent restauration and it looks great. I went specifically to view how it looks now after not having visited in many years but also they were having an exhibit on Contemporary American artist Kehinde Wiley in conversation with the famous Jacques Louis David that recorded all the major events of the Napoleonic monarchy in heroic sized canvases. The viewing if Kehinde’s take on Napoleon crossing the Alps in front of the David Masterpiece made the visit worth it, there was also a most interesting video featuring the artist explaining his atttaction for heroic historical painting. The rooms are still bearing witness to the unique elegance and gracefulness that made empress Josephine the taste maker for her time. Relaxed beauty is the best way to describe it and the simplicity of the furniture, the great fabric treatments, the details in the refined ormolu fittings all recalling the style of the ancients and particularly the influence of Napoleon’s Egyptian campaign on the decorative arts. It is a must see for designers or any one interested in good classical decor; but also for those interested in the First Empire. Some of the best paintings you’ve seen in book illustrations are here, and the rooms are packed with personal items from Napoleon and Josephine as well as Prince Eugene.

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

Owned by Philippe d'Orléans, younger brother of Louis XIV, the national estate of Saint-Cloud has no more castle, destroyed during a fire in 1870, but still offers 460 hectares of gardens, park and woods that represent a some of the best examples of classic French garden. Designed by André Le Nôtre, it is also one of the most attractive parks on the outskirts of Paris. Site labeled "remarkable garden".

We walked down the avenue du Chateau to get to the terrace - well worth the walk, along a tree-lined sidewalk. And an unexpected sight along the way - the house where Richard Wagner lived - but not available for visits, as far as I could tell. The terrace is also tree-lined - those long rows of perfectly aligned trees that are so impressive. But the main reason people go there - and apparently not in great numbers, even though it is free - we had no more than 6 others in that large space - is for the views of Paris, and the views are quite amazing. Take your camera (even better if with zoom) and enjoy!

We were a group of 9 persons and really enjoyed our escape game. We choose the Prison break theme, which was tough and challenging. The puzzles are all logical and well thought-out. We had a lot of fun and will come back for sure.

Whilst this is a bit of a journey from the other tourists attractions it is well worth a visit for the views. It is in La Defense which is commercial / business area. There is a shopping centre near by and places to eat and drink. You get to the viewing gallery by a glass lift which goes up the middle of the arch. Before you go outside there is a good exhibition which explains the history a s building of the arch. The viewing galley gives excellent views across the city and you can get good photos of the Eiffel Tower. The viewing gallery has now for sun loungers so you can sit and relax whilst enjoying the view. There is a cafe and gift show. I have visited before and would do so again just for the views. There are also excellent views of the arch itself from the steps either side where you can sit and relax or people watch !

I've been there with couple of colleagues after a long day and I must say we've really enjoyed the place. From inside and outside one gets a great view over Paris (Tour Eiffel, Arche de Triomphe, Bois de Boulogne. The staff is amazing (especially the very funny and friendly manager!) and the service great. A bit too pricey considering the overall experience but this is kinda normal for this type of venues.
