Traveler reviews
Psychic Reader Love&Career
★★★★★5 months agoI adore this park! Thank you to the architects and landscapists who constructed this lovely oasis in Marseille! Thank you so much! The convenience of the new tram line stopping right in front of the entrance is amazing. Also, it has more than enough spaces to have some work out privacy, as well as seating to just relax. 10/10. Parks are so important for us nature folks, so I am.here multiple times a week for workouts or just grounding. Marseille really does attract top professional talent.

★★★★★3 years agoThis was one of my favorite parks in Marseille before they decided to mess up all around while constructing the new tunnel. They even damaged the lake and now it needs to be drained.
