Parc de Sceaux.

Last weekend the we joined some new friends for a journey to the outskirts of Paris to a magical land known as Parc de Sceaux. This was the day of the Japanese cherry blossom festival. We took the RER to Sceaux and walked to the Parc. Sceaux is a nice little town that would have you paying 10 Euros for a bunch of grapes ($13.37) if you're not careful. Our travel partner found the same grapes for 4 Euros. Once we entered the park we were just amazed at the size, age and beauty of everything. The landscaping and architecture were like nothing any of us (well the Scuglia's) had encountered before. Unfathomable.


When we got to the meadow where the blossoms were in bloom there were loads of people picnicking in the grass playing frisbee and football(soccer), loads of badminton and volleyball.


As one would expect there were many children running around which means the girls had their share of fun in the sun. I don't think they really appreciated that they were frolicking in the grass among the blossoming trees (and bitchin seersucker pantsuit) in the massive gardens of some centuries old French chateau. Awesome.




It was such a short train ride. I can't wait for our next visit to Parc de Sceaux.
