It reigns like an air of England in the heart of the capital of the Moselle. In this large urban park of 4.4 hectares, the paths undulate following the reliefs of the terrain, the massifs seem to have sprung quite naturally from the ground that carries them while, on both sides, water points energize the 'space and call the eye ... First private, the park was bought by the city in 1866 and entrusted to the architect Demoget who will give it this landscaped or "English" style. It also shelters thematic gardens, vast greenhouses as well as an arboretum rich in many centenary trees. The visit is made on foot or by taking the little rail train which offers its services on summer afternoons. Good visit.
