The Bourg Bucket List: #18: Go to the Parc de l’Orangerie

Bon dimanche! I hope everyone had a relaxing weekend like I did! So this weekend I spent some quality girl time with my homies, and crossing two things off my Strasbourg bucket list One of them being a visit to Strasbourg’s famous park! Yesterday, Alaina and I took a quick walk in the Parc de l’Orangerie over by her apartment. The park is one of the most beautiful spots in Strasbourg, and was a major to-do on my list, so I was determined as ever to visit. Donc, we bundled up and went out to balader in the chill Strasbourgeois air. The park was indeed pretty, especially because of the ever-changing colors of fall, something that I definitely do not experience back home in California!

This picture was taken at the entrance of the park. I was so taken aback by the variation of fall colors in the trees!

There was also a pretty lake/pond/pool thing! 

We began our trek in the woods…

But first stopped for a waffle snack at the park snack bar. I had a yummy nutella waffle. Nom!

These giant storks are famous in Alsace and serve as the region’s symbol. They’re all over the souvenir shops as stuffed animals, hats, keychain mascots, etc.

We had many photoshoots of the scenery, like of this pretty trellis, and managed to catch some of the sky with the sun setting in the background.

Overall, it was a great day in the park! I’ve always wanted to take a little walk through one of Strasbourg’s most picturesque spots, despite the drastic temperature drop, just to see the fall colors and the giant Alsatian storks. Another task off the list! I think I’m making good progress with this bucket list. And with good reason, too. There’s only four more weekends left in the Bourg!
