Traveler reviews
TREGOU Elise
★★★★★Edited 3 months agoUn parc superbe, surtout pour son impressionnante allée de glycines d'environ 500 mètres de long. C’est magique d'avril à mai, tant pour la vue que pour l'odeur ! 🌸
Joëlle Gaulon
★★★★★5 years agoTrès jolie promenade, certes peu avenante au départ vu les chantiers en cours alentour, mais agréable. Romantique sous les glycines, ne levez pas trop le nez car les vélos y passent un peu vite, même si la piste est à partager avec les pietons. Si vous prévoyez d'y passer, prenez quelques provisions, vous vous ferez un goûter sympa et vous réchaufferez le coeur des quelques personnes installées là faute "d'ailleurs" ❤️
