Traveler reviews
Luis Quintero
★★★★★a year agoMaybe one of the best parks I've visited in Bordeaux. It's relatively small but there are many things to see, like the ruins of a castle, a green house, there are many plants and labels with descriptions. There's also a house with some events you can register and participate. Definitely I would visit it again 😁
Kostas Ventouras
★★★★★4 years agoPicturesque and quiet park, well maintained, with a beautiful "gardener's house" (small exhibition place).
