About

This charming and highly original park incorporates picturesque remains of the Vaugirard slaughterhouses as well as unique spaces such as the vineyard, the educational apiary surrounded by melliferous plants, the scent garden, and the vegetable garden.

The entrance, once very mineral, is now embellished with a lawn decorated with trees. The former pond, now planted with vegetation, is topped by a pontoon and hosts aquatic biodiversity.
