• Open sunrise to sunset every day, so closing time shifts with the season
• Japanese cherry grove in the west of the park, where families gather for hanami picnics in spring
• Two RER B stations serve the park: Parc de Sceaux and La Croix de Berny

Parc de Sceaux is a formal French garden laid out by André Le Nôtre in the 17th century, spread over 181 hectares just south of Paris. Kids can follow the stepped cascades down to the Octagon basin, walk the 1,140-meter Grand Canal and hunt for the statues along the allées.

In spring, the grove of Japanese cherry trees draws families for hanami picnics. The château houses the estate's museum.
