    Parc Monceau
    Parc Monceau was created in the 18th century for the duc d'Orléans (who came to be known as Philippe-Egalité), the cousin of Louis XVI and the father of King Louis-Philippe I. It was opened to the public in the days of Napoleon III's Second Empire. It was originally laid out with an Egyptian-style obelisk, a medieval dungeon, a thatched farmhouse, a Chinese pagoda, a Roman temple, an enchanted grotto, various chinoiseries, and a waterfall. Today only a pyramid and an oval naumachia fringed by a colonnade are remaining along with solid statuary and monuments of Guy de Maupassant by the sculptor Verlet, Ambroise Thomas by Alexandre Falguière, Frederic Chopin by Jacques Froment Thomas, Charles Gounod by Antonin Mercié and Edouard Pailleron by Léopold Bernstamm.
    Address: Parc de Monceau, Boulevard de Courcelles Paris  France  75008

    Bois de Boulogne
    Nestled on the west edge of Paris, Bois de Boulogne is a magnificent display of trees, bushes, and flower arrangements. Once the property of the state, Bois de Boulogne was sold to the city of Paris in 1852. Playgrounds, pavillions and chalets are all on the grounds, as is the Jardin d'Acclimatation, a children's amusement park. All these attractions make it easy to forget that Bois de Boulogne was once a haven and hideout for outlaws. The Musée des Arts et Traditions Populaires (Museum of Folk Art) is housed here, and it is often referred to as 'the lungs of the capital'.
    Address: Portes Maillot, Dauphine or d'Auteuil Paris  France  75016
