Description
Overlooking the Seine, the park features large lawns, promenades and gardens peppered with sculptures, leisure areas and playing fields. Since 2012, it has been certified as an eco-friendly plant space by the Eve® eco-label, and offers magnificent theme gardens ideal for strolling.
Take a stroll to discover the gardens: the Jardin des Lavandes, a lavender garden with southern fragrances. The Jardins Imprévus, a delicate space that smells of the countryside; the Jardins Clos, a transitional area between the Jardins Imprévus and the park. The Jardin des Messicoles invites you to discover a special selection of wild plants; the Jardin Antérieur ties into the history of the site; and the Jardin des Découvertes features an ecological pond and an organic vegetable garden, allowing children and adults to learn the names of the plants and animals, while also having fun.
In addition to the many gardens, the park is home to the Tour aux Figures by Jean Dubuffet, where only birdsong disturbs the surrounding calm!
