About
A 5.5-hectare park by architect Jean Nouvel, built around the theme of shade, with roughly 1,000 Mediterranean trees, palms and bougainvillea-draped perimeter walls. For families the appeal is space and variety: several play areas dotted through the park, plus pétanque courts, table-tennis, basketball hoops and wide paths that are great for scooters and bikes. On-site facilities are limited, so bring water.
