Dans le Parc du Château de Sceaux, derrière le Petit Château un jardin a été créé tel que celui du XVIII° siècle.
Il s’orne, au nord, de deux pittoresques fontaines de rocailles agrémentées coquillages exotiques, encadrées de treillages et, devant la façade Est, d’un bassin octogonal où se dresse une statue-fontaine, l’Olympe, œuvre de Claude Lalanne, évoquant les automates qui s’y trouvaient autrefois.
