Traveler reviews
Caïna Verrin
★★★★★3 years agoYou get some spectacular views from the inclines in this park! Obviously, that also means it can be a bit of a steep walk to get up to, if something like that bothers you. It has a playground and lots of space to just relax. Recommended
Stuart Johnson
★★★★★a year agoLovely Park nicely maintained with great views and a peaceful, calm atmosphere. Slightly away from the main areas, so does not get as busy as some of the parks.
