Parc Georges-Brassens
Laid out in 1985 on the former Vaugirard slaughterhouses, Parc Georges-Brassens kept the two monumental bulls of the gateway and the horse hall, which hosts an old-book market every weekend. The park unfolds lawns, vines, a beehive and a scented garden.
From the top of the artificial hill, the view opens over the rooftops of the 15th arrondissement. It is an endearing neighbourhood park, frequented by families and Saturday book lovers, with a name that resonates for lovers of French song.
Tip: at weekends, don't miss the old-book market under the hall. Allow 30 to 45 minutes. The park is a 10-minute walk from Porte de Versailles.
