★★★★★2 years agoBeautiful park near to the lake (and the Jet l’Eau), is huge! You can go there for a walk, for exercising, for a picnic or whatever you want! Very quiet and pleasant to be in. Is free to the public so you can just arrive and enjoy. You can get there by walking along the lake or by public transport.
