Today we went on a beautiful hike near 🌞 in the Parisian forest. With an area of approximately 846 hectares in the west of the city, the Bois de Boulogne can be considered one of the two 'lungs' of Paris and the second largest green space in terms of area, after the Bois de Vincennes in the east. In October, many cyclamens bloom here along the hiking trail. A hike all the way around the lake with a visit to the island is a wonderful one. A free ferry ride is offered to get to the island. Highly recommended. We took a short break at LE CHALET DES ILES. Afterwards, we hiked a short distance on the island. Surprisingly, the heron was very friendly. I had the impression that it was expecting to be photographed 😄. It immediately struck a pose; I've never been so close to a heron before. There are always great photo opportunities along the hike, with small, babbling brooks in a very idyllic setting.

Bois de Boulogne Paris, France The two trees (240 cm) are a gift from Swedish industry to the Parisians and symbolize love and unity. This bronze statue was inaugurated in 1994. With this donation, the investor – a Swedish industrial holding company – and the Wallenberg family acknowledge the historical significance of relations between France and Sweden. At the tip of the small island in Lake Superior, this symbol of love has become a favorite place for Parisians to rest, row, and contemplate for bird lovers. There are great places to sit and relax. The sculpture is beautiful to behold and highly recommended 👍 to visit.

The view from across the shore was spectacular, but to see it from here is incredible. To see so much romance in one statue is indescribably beautiful.

A true green setting on the outskirts of Paris, there are sports enthusiasts there during the day. At the end of the evening, however, the atmosphere is completely different… 😉
