Parc Longchamp

Behind Palais Longchamp, stroll along tree-lined paths, past lawns and traces of the former zoological gardens. The park combines a formal garden with more freely designed areas, featuring ornamental rockwork and historic pavilions. Play areas let you extend your outing with the children. The historic zoo is closed: this listing covers the public park, not an animal park.
