Grand Canal

Highlight • Lake

The Grand Canal in the Domaine de Sceaux is grandiose. It is a fairly large body of water that you can bypass to run near the water. An ideal site to rest after training.

Parc de Sceaux Orangery

Highlight • Historical Site

The Orangerie in the Parc de Sceaux has inspired many artists over the centuries, as evidenced by the estate's museum. We can mention Elisabeth Sonrel (1874-1953), for example. This building was badly damaged by a shell during the war of 1870, but restored afterwards. Her garden is just beautiful!
