Parc départemental des Chanteraines
Created by the Hauts-de-Seine department on former industrial and railway land, Parc des Chanteraines covers nearly 80 hectares between Gennevilliers and Villeneuve-la-Garenne, reaching down to the Seine.
It features ponds, wide meadows, a children's farm and a small tourist train: one of the great family parks of the north-west Paris region, and almost unknown to visitors staying in the city. Tip: allow at least an hour for the loop around the ponds, and check the farm's opening times if you come with children.
