The Castle (Le Château) History: The original magnificent castle was destroyed in the revolution. The current building dates from 1856 (Louis XIII style) and is smaller, but very elegant. Content: Today it houses a museum that showcases the art and lifestyle of the Île-de-France region from the 17th to the 20th century. Special feature: It is less crowded than Versailles, but looks very stately due to the brick look. The Park (Le Parc) The Designer: Designed by André Le Nôtre, the garden architect of Louis XIV (Versailles). Highlights: Grand Canal: A huge water basin for endless walks. The Cascades: Impressive water features that flow down in stages. Cherry blossoms: World famous for its two groves (one white, one pink). In April, an absolute hotspot for picnics. Size: 181 hectares – perfect for jogging, relaxing or long walks. The most important thing for your visit Arrival: Take the RER B (direction Saint-Rémy-lès-Chevreuse) to the "Parc de Sceaux" or "Bourg-la-Reine" station. Duration: approx. 20 min. from Paris city center. Costs: The park is free. You only pay admission for the castle museum and special exhibitions (approx. €5). Rule: The park closes at dusk. In spring it usually closes around 7:00 p.m. or 8:00 p.m.

In Parc de Sceaux, the cherry blossom tradition reaches its greatest dimension in the Paris region. Here's a summary of the most important points: Two colors: The park has two specialized groves – the Bosquet Nord with white cherry blossoms and the Bosquet Sud with bright pink flowers. The Hanami Festival: Every year in April (usually mid-month), thousands of people gather for Hanami. It is the Japanese cherry blossom festival, where people picnic under the trees to celebrate the beauty and transience of nature. Cultural center: There are often Taiko drum performances, traditional dances, and workshops organized by the Japanese community. Visitor rush: As the influx has increased extremely in recent years, access to the lawns under the trees in the northern grove is now strictly regulated and often requires a reservation in April.

The Plessis-Robinson Town Centre was designed in 1990 by architect François Spoerry. Located around three gardens created from scratch (the Town Hall gardens, the Sertillanges garden and the Orangerie garden) and around thirty shops, it foreshadows the renewal of town centres at the beginning of the 21st century and the development of "new urbanism".
