Spend a day in Boulogne-Billancourt

Paris’ closest suburbs often play second fiddle to the city’s intra-muros attractions, but you’d be wrong to ignore Boulogne-Billancourt, at the end of Métro lines 9 and 10, west of the centre. You could easily spend a day here: There’s the Bois de Boulogne for a start – Paris’s western lung, filled with lakes and parkland, perfect for a morning stroll. Then there are three excellent museums, well worth an afternoon of your time: Head to the Musée Belmondo if you’re into sculpture, the Musée des Années 30 for everything Art Déco and the Musée Albert Kahn for wonderful sculpted gardens and collections of 19th-century photography.
