The park is situated on land once owned by Jean-Baptiste Colbert, the minister of Louis XIV.
The Bosquet Nord area maintains a wilder, less manicured aesthetic compared to the Grand Canal axis of the Parc de Sceaux.
The surrounding Parc de Sceaux is one of the few places in the region that contains a significant population of ancient trees protected under local heritage guidelines.
Bosquet Nord is a densely forested area located within the northern periphery of the Parc de Sceaux estate. It features a network of shaded walking paths shielded by mature tree canopies. The area serves as a transition zone between the formal gardens designed by André Le Nôtre and the naturalistic woodlands of the greater park. Its topography is relatively flat, facilitating easy traversal for walkers and joggers. The site is characterized by its high density of deciduous trees that provide significant foliage during the spring and summer months. The park environment acts as a biodiversity corridor in the suburban landscape of the Hauts-de-Seine department.
