Sceaux is a wealthy suburb located about 10 km to the south of the centre of Paris. It is mostly known for the Château and Parc de Sceaux, designed by André Le Nôtre who was also responsible for designing the gardens of the Versailles Palace. For this reason it feels like visiting a miniature version of Versailles, but without the swarms of tourists.
