Panoramic view of the Grand Canal just after the entrance. An ideal place for a family walk, which is also a favorite ground for runners.

The Castle (Le Château) History: The original magnificent castle was destroyed in the revolution. The current building dates from 1856 (Louis XIII style) and is smaller, but very elegant. Content: Today it houses a museum that showcases the art and lifestyle of the Île-de-France region from the 17th to the 20th century. Special feature: It is less crowded than Versailles, but looks very stately due to the brick look. The Park (Le Parc) The Designer: Designed by André Le Nôtre, the garden architect of Louis XIV (Versailles). Highlights: Grand Canal: A huge water basin for endless walks. The Cascades: Impressive water features that flow down in stages. Cherry blossoms: World famous for its two groves (one white, one pink). In April, an absolute hotspot for picnics. Size: 181 hectares – perfect for jogging, relaxing or long walks. The most important thing for your visit Arrival: Take the RER B (direction Saint-Rémy-lès-Chevreuse) to the "Parc de Sceaux" or "Bourg-la-Reine" station. Duration: approx. 20 min. from Paris city center. Costs: The park is free. You only pay admission for the castle museum and special exhibitions (approx. €5). Rule: The park closes at dusk.

In Parc de Sceaux, the cherry blossom tradition reaches its greatest dimension in the Paris region. Here's a summary of the most important points: Two colors: The park has two specialized groves – the Bosquet Nord with white cherry blossoms and the Bosquet Sud with bright pink flowers. The Hanami Festival: Every year in April (usually mid-month), thousands of people gather for Hanami. It is the Japanese cherry blossom festival, where people picnic under the trees to celebrate the beauty and transience of nature. Cultural center: There are often Taiko drum performances, traditional dances, and workshops organized by the Japanese community. Visitor rush: As the influx has increased extremely in recent years, access to the lawns under the trees in the northern grove is now strictly regulated and often requires a reservation in April.
