The Temple of Love on Lac Daumesnil in the Bois de Vincennes

The Bois de Vincennes (French pronunciation: [bwɑ d(ə) vɛ̃sɛn]), located on the eastern edge of Paris, France, is the largest public park in the city. It was created between 1855 and 1866 by Emperor Napoleon III.

The park is next to the Château de Vincennes, a former residence of the Kings of France. It contains an English landscape garden with four lakes; a zoo; an arboretum; a botanical garden; a hippodrome or horse-racing track; a velodrome for bicycle races; and the campus of the French national institute of sports and physical education. The park is known for prostitution after dark.[1]
