Tir aux Pigeons

Tir aux Pigeons takes the country out of country club. It my have the usually pastoral perks of a pond, a pool, and meticulously manicured lawns, but they all reside within the Bois de Boulogne, one of the Paris’ most famous parks. Sabine Brunner’s family isn’t one for lounging, preferring to use their membership to swim or play tennis or soccer. Non-members can enjoy themselves too, though, either in the club’s excellent restaurant, or lying around the pond. “You can also rent a boat and bring along a picnic, ” says Sabine Brunner. It’s the perfect way to unwind after a long walk through the park grounds.
