Strasbourg Attractions
Parc de l'Orangerie
Situated just opposite the Palais de l'Europe, this is the largest and oldest park in the city. The beautifully proportioned pavilion, with its creamy white walls and central fountain, was constructed in honour of Empress Josephine in 1804. However, the oldest paths were designed by Andre Le Nôtre two centuries earlier. The park has boating on the lake in summer, as well as a zoo, a mini-farm and a stork enclosure.
Avenue de l'Europe
Free admission.
Parc de Pourtalès
In the 19th century, Countess Mélanie de Pourtalès would receive high society in the beautiful château situated at the heart of this 24-hectare (59-acre) park. Contemporary sculptures are scattered throughout the gardens. Some, such as Claudio Parmiggiani's La Forêt Regarde et Ecoute (The Forest Watches and Listens), which consists of bronze ears grafted on to tree trunks, are so well blended in with the landscape that some locals still have not spotted them.
Rue Mélanie
Free admission.
