Storks
Having fun in the old cars
The gorgeous treesWe spent the day at the wonderful Parc De L’Orangerie, the oldest and largest park in Strasbourg which was built to impress Napoleon’s wife Josephine. I’d never heard of this place but I read about it on a blog somewhere and I thought it was somewhere the kids would like to go. There are animal enclosures with monkeys, curly horned African goats, lots of birds, kookaburras (would you believe) and a mini petting zoo where the kids could feed goats, lambs and guinea pigs. The horse took Samuel’s whole cup of food, cup and all! The park has a programme to encourage stork breeding and they have built these tall platforms where the birds can build their nests. The storks have also made their homes on top of the chateau in the park grounds which looks kind of funny seeing this grand chateau with huge storks’ nests in the roof.
The park is obviously a popular place for wedding photos too as I saw five couples in the space of ten minutes having their wedding photos taken. It’s a very beautiful park to visit. We spent most of the day there and when it was lunchtime we went to find a supermarche so we could get some picnic things and have our lunch there.
