The Parc de Sceaux is a large French style park designed by landscape architect Andre Le Notre, whose portfolio includes the gardens at Versailles and chateau Chantilly.

Full of symmetrical plant arrangements, canals, fountains, Roman-inspired statues and waterways, this is one classy French garden. Overlooking the scene is a large country home dating from the 19th century.

It now houses the Museum of Ile de France, which includes paintings, ceramics and furniture that showcase the history of the region. What’s more, the gardens and the museum are both completely free.
