Octogone, Body of water in Parc de Sceaux, Antony, France
The Octogone is a small body of water within the Parc de Sceaux in Antony, south of Paris. It forms one of several water sections in the park, alongside the grand canal and the petit canal, and fishing is permitted there.
The Parc de Sceaux is a historic estate whose gardens and waterways were designed over several centuries. The Octogone is part of this long-standing layout and has been one of the park's water features for generations.
The Octogone sits within the Parc de Sceaux, which can be reached on foot or by public transit from central Paris. Those who want to fish should check the park's fishing rules before visiting.
The name Octogone comes directly from the eight-sided shape of this water feature, which sets it apart from the more irregular sections of the park's lake. This geometric form is unusual for a naturalistic park setting and makes it easy to spot on a map.
