This public park in the city of Hyères in the Var department is considered one of the most notable in France. With its exotic flowers, plants and beautifully landscaped paths, it invites you to linger outside the tourist bustle.
For families with children ideal, beautifully landscaped playgrounds, a lake with a fountain, ducks, free-roaming peacocks and other animals that inspire the offspring. Not to mention a mini train to ride, kiosks and other rides
