Tourist Information
The Parc Georges Brassens is full of history. If it bears this name, it is as a tribute to the famous singer who spent a large part of his life not far from here. Originally vineyards, then slaughterhouses, this park opened in 1975 retains the traces of its past. At the entrance to the Parc Georges Brassens, visitors are greeted by two sculptures of bulls. Each weekend, a second-hand book market is held in the sheds of the old horse market, an unmissable event for connoisseurs. As you stroll through the Parc Georges Brassens, you will see the old Pinot Noir vines and be able to wonder at the garden of scented plants. But the Parc Georges Brassens also provides other surprises, with a visit to a garden of aromatic and medicinal plants and a beehive. The river flows gently by, and as for Georges Brassens, he follows you throughout your visit - a bust of him watches over the park and the paths are named after his songs. To enjoy a walk in one of Paris's biggest parks, take the Metro to the Convention station.
