A Morning Walking Inside the Parc de Sceaux, south of Paris (November 2017)

The Parc de Sceaux is one of the most beautiful parks in Paris area. It is located around 10 km south of Paris and it is very popular. People looking for a peaceful area and willing for walking and jogging, have an ideal place at the Parc de Sceaux. It has been constantly renewed and it is in a superb shape nowadays. My friend Fahd - a lucky guy - lives nearby. A 5 minutes walk from his place and I was inside the park. From the net:
"The Château de Sceaux is a grand country house in Sceaux, Hauts-de-Seine, approximately six miles from the center of Paris, France. Located in a park laid out by André Le Nôtre, visitors can tour the house, outbuildings and gardens. The Petit Château operates as the Musée de l’Île-de-France, a museum of local history. The commune operates the site as Musée du Domaine départemental de Sceaux.
The former château was built for Jean-Baptiste Colbert, Louis XIV's minister of finance, who purchased the domaine in 1670. The present château, designed to evoke the style of Louis XIII, dates from the Second Empire. Some of Colbert's outbuildings remain, and the bones of the garden layout."
