Chuck and I decided to have a look at this park which we had not visited for more than 15 years. Bois de Boulogne is outside the "walls" of Paris, which define the city of Paris proper. It is one of the two biggest parks in the Paris area, the other being the Bois de Vincennes. B de B is so large, it has parks within the park. It took us a while to actually enter the park because the bus drop off is quite a ways from the main park of the park. Here's Chuck as we got into the park.
We finally found the interior lake, a pond big enough for row boats. Here's a view of the Lac Inferieur.
After some walking we found the pre-Catalan gardens, which held a great many picnickers and some lovely but unused buildings.
We walked on until we found the Bagatelle gardens, where we saw peacocks, small ponds and found a nice restaurant to have lunch. The peacock is in a tree that it flew into to avoid some kids who were annoying it!
The Bagatelle gardens also host the Rose Gardens, a wonderful collection of rose bushes in every color and shape one could wish for.
