Traveler reviews
Mila W.
★★★★★3 years agoAbsolutely loved it. There is a japanese garden and a small lake as well plenty of trees and flowers as well as hidden areas to relax and read. The herb garden is so peaceful. If you are visiting with children you have a huge playground and other areas where they can shoot water guns for example or drive a remote controlled boat. The parc also offers ice cream, cakes, alcoholic beverages and artisan drinks
