Parc of Sceaux, French formal garden and museum in Sceaux, France
The estate encompasses 180 hectares of gardens, featuring grand perspectives with geometrical patterns, water basins, cascades, and a kilometer-long Grand Canal.
Jean-Baptiste Colbert established this domain in the 17th century, with André Le Nôtre designing the gardens according to French classical principles.
The château functions as a museum displaying collections that illustrate French decorative arts from the reign of Louis XIV through Napoleon III.
The park opens daily from sunrise to sunset, offering activities such as boat rentals on the Grand Canal from April to October.
The Pavilion of Dawn contains a remarkable painted dome by Charles Le Brun depicting Aurora through allegorical scenes and mythological figures.
