Parc du 26e Centenaire - Jean-Claude Gaudin

On the site of the former gare du Prado, this park combines walking paths, viewpoints and gardens inspired by Provence, the East, Africa and Asia. Railway remains recall the site's history. Children can enjoy the playgrounds, while the paths invite a leisurely stroll through the different landscapes. The ornamental fountains are not water play areas: respect the intended uses and the facilities available on site.
