I forgot we lived so close to a huge forest! The bois de Vincennes, to the East of Paris, has an area of 9.947 km², which is almost three times larger than Central Park and four times larger than Hyde Park in London. Needless to say this is a pretty good place to go running, as the twisty paths make it easy to get lost turning a twenty minute run into an hour run plus 15 min wander / map hunt. The bois is also a great place to picnic in the summer and leaf hunt in the fall. Theo was so adorable requesting large leaves from high up branches and marching about with a bag full of leaves around his shoulder that dragged on the floor.
