Tips from the community

Across the square, the Parc des Bastions is a popular place to relax. Play on the giant chessboard or enjoy coffee and cake in the atmospheric Café du Parc des Bastions, which is housed in a former bandstand and winter garden. The park was the city’s first botanical garden and it contains more than 50 varieties of rare trees, as well as statues and fountains.
