With its sprawling lawns, walking paths, man-made lakes, waterfalls, grottoes, and amusement park, the Bois de Boulogne (the second-largest park in the French capital) is an amazing place for a picnic, stroll, lazy boat ride on the ponds, and sweet escape from the city’s hustle and bustle. Your children will have a great time here. They will fall in love with the beautiful peacocks, moor hens, swans and ducks; and enjoy the amusement park, including the spinning teacups, wooden horses, roller coasters, pony rides and puppet shows.
