a place of calm that I recommend if you want to take a break: the green spaces are accessible, there is a café and the place is absolutely serene

The Château de Baillon is a 17th century castle which belonged to the husband of Madame de Pompadour, the mistress of Louis XV. The castle is surrounded by a beautiful park with a large canal, a pond and a fountain. You can admire the architecture and gardens of the castle, as well as the view of the Oise and the Carnelle forest. The castle is not open to the public, but you can access the park from the road that leads to Royaumont Abbey, another historic site to visit.

The farm is no longer open to the public and I haven't seen any alpacas behind the fences.

Always surprising to see an Alpaca breeding in France (which is also near Paris). Gives a little exotic air to the ride!

entrance fee unfortunately. Wikipedia summary: Royaumont Abbey is a former Cistercian monastery located in the hamlet of Baillon in Asnières-sur-Oise in the Val-d'Oise, about thirty kilometers north of Paris. It was built between 1228 and 1235 under the aegis of Saint Louis, and was then one of the most important abbeys in France. It remains a Cistercian abbey until the French Revolution, it is sold as national property and becomes a textile industrial site. It regained its religious vocation in 1864, until the Combes laws in 1905. The abbey was then bought by Jules Goüin, and his grandson Henry, an industrialist and music lover, opened its doors to artists, organized concerts there and makes a place of musical and cultural creation. He gave it to the Royaumont Foundation, which he created in 1964, the first private foundation for cultural purposes, which has since managed the site. The building has been listed as a historical monument since 1927 for its remains, and 1948 for the buildings of the abbey and the park.
