FamilyExpert Tips & Helpful Hints

Some of the first public gardens in Europe, these were created in 1750. With fountains and streams and interesting buildings, this is a wonderful place to stroll and explore. It is northwest of the city center.
One of the buildings to see is the Temple of Diana, but there's really very little left except for a nave and partial corridors. Still, it's fun to see.
The best structure in the gardens is Tour Magne, an octagonal tower that once had three levels but today has just two. It's 32 meters high, and views from the top are well worth the climb.
