Parc André Citroën

The Parc André Citroën is located on the site of the former Citroën factory in Paris. Inaugurated in 1992, the 14-hectare park is one of the capital's most recent parks. This futuristic work of art, created by renowned landscape architects and designers (Alain Provost, Gilles Clément, Patrick Berger, Jean-Paul Viguier and François Jodry), offers a beautiful view over the Seine, and is the only green space in Paris to open directly onto the river. The park is divided into three themed areas: the White Garden, the Black Garden and a large central park. Visitors will discover many exotic trees and rare plants, two monumental greenhouses and many other surprises. The park's various facilities are ideal for relaxation and entertainment. Children can enjoy a ball games area, table tennis tables, spring games and slides. And don't forget the captive gas balloon, with its 150-metre ascent for young and old (weather permitting).
