PARC ANDRÉ CITROËN, PARIS
On the land of the former Citroën car manufacturing
plant in the heart of the 15th arrondissement, the
architecturally designed park covers an area of 14
hectares – the equivalent of 20 football fields. Its
spacious lawned areas traversed by streams, themed
gardens and greenhouses, water games and the
tethered helium balloon that offers views of the city
make this park a popular spot on the left bank of
the Seine.
VONDELPARK , AMSTERDAM
The “green lung” of Amsterdam near the museum quarter is the perfect location to escape
the hectic city and enjoy a picnic, lunch or walk. The 15 kilometres of pathways lined by
various types of trees stretch throughout the park, which was named after the city’s most
famous poet Vondel Joost. Vondelpark is also well known outside of the city thanks to its
wide variety of birds. Wild parrots, for example, fly around the park, and it is also renowned
for its many free concerts and sporting events.
