Bois de Boulogne run

The Bois de Boulogne is a park located along the western edge of the 16th arrondissement of Paris, near the suburb of Boulogne-Billancourt. The Bois de Boulogne covers an area of 8.459 km² (3.266 sq. miles, or 2,090 acres), which is 2.5 times larger than Central Park in New York, and 3.3 times larger than Hyde Park in London. The northern part of the Bois de Boulogne is occupied by the Jardin d'Acclimatation, an amusement park with a menagerie and other attractions. At night time, the area becomes one of Paris's most prominent red-light districts, though in recent years the French government has sought to eliminate prostitution in the park.
