About this tour
This shorter session times a walk through the Jardin Anglais for sunset, starting at the flower clock and finishing at the water's edge. You see the clock's bedding plants explained in some detail and the sun dropping behind the lake's far shore. Émilie, who trained briefly in horticulture, treats the clock as more than a photo stop.
She keeps the pace slow at the clock, since the planting pattern rewards a proper look, then times the walk to the water for the last of the light. Questions are welcome throughout.
This suits anyone who wants a calm, scenic session at the end of the day. It works only at the right time of day, so booking close to sunset matters.

A short list to keep 3 min
Before you go, the guide sums up with a few things worth remembering: a dish to try: Malakoff (fried cheese fritters) and Vieille Ville, worth a slower look.
