Departmental Park of Sceaux, French formal garden in Sceaux, France

The 184-hectare park features symmetrical gardens, long water canals, fountains, tree-lined paths, and carefully arranged flower beds across multiple levels.

André Le Nôtre designed the gardens in 1670 for Jean-Baptiste Colbert, the Finance Minister of Louis XIV, incorporating grand perspectives and geometric patterns.

The park houses the Musée de l'Île-de-France within its château, displaying art collections spanning from the 17th to the 19th centuries.

Visitors can access the park daily from 7:00 AM to 8:30 PM through multiple entrances connected to nearby RER B stations.

Each spring, over 150 cherry trees transform the park during Hanami celebrations, drawing thousands of visitors to admire the pink blossoms.
