Sheep in Paris
I saw this herd of sheep on Avenue de Breteuil near Les Invalides. They belong to Ecomouton, which provides sheep to serve as a kind of ecological lawn mower.

The Palais de la Porte Dorée is an exhibit hall located near Bois de Vincennes, in Paris. It was constructed for the Paris Colonial Exhibition, in 1931. It now houses a tropical aquarium and the Museum of Immigration.
Colonnes de Buren (Les Deux Plateaux)
The Colonnes de Buren is an art installation created by French artist Daniel Buren in 1986. It is located in the inner courtyard of the Palais Royal in Paris.
Coulée Verte René Dumont (Promenade Plantée)
The Coulée Verte René Dumont (formerly known as Promenade Plantée) is a 4.7 km elevated linear park built on top of a former railway in the 12th arrondissement of Paris. It links Bois de Vincennes with Bastille.
The start of the Coulée Verte is near the Périphérique. However, I started from Square Charles Péguy: I wanted to check out the community garden built near the Petite Ceinture railway, which can only be accessed from the Square. I then walked all the way to Bastille.
Parc de Sceaux
The Parc de Sceaux is a large park located south of Paris. It used to belong to Jean-Baptiste Colbert, who served as Minister of Finances of France under King Louis XIV. The park has a castle (Château de Sceaux), built in the 19th century, and an expansive garden designed by André Le Nôtre.
