Actually, I just call it Parc St. Cloud, but Domaine National de Saint-Cloud is the official name. This is a huge park just outside Paris. Though saying it is just outside Paris makes it seem far away. It isn’t really, but it does have the feeling of being far away.

I go there roughly 2-3 times a week now. I first found it because it is next to where fille rows. It isn’t very well known and certainly not very touristy. I have hundreds of photos and a lot to say about the park so you’ll see some more posts in the future. However to start with this will give you a quick overview of the park and perhaps (if you are in Paris) a desire to visit it.

What does the park have to offer?

  • Manicured gardens with beautiful flowers
  • Wild forested areas
  • Classic french topiaries
  • Beautiful vistas overlooking Paris
  • Wide open green spaces
  • Dozens of fountains
  • Ponds
  • And even a few animals

Manicured gardens with beautiful flowers

Wild forested areas

Classic french topiaries

Fountains

Beautiful vistas of Paris

Wide open spaces (which otherwise are rare in Paris)

There are even a couple of small ponds

And here are the sheep and goats. I didn’t manage a picture of the deer that ran by one day and didn’t take a picture of the horses.
