The oldest green area of Strasbourg, the Orangery Park is still today one of the favorite meetings of Sunday joggers and families wishing to have a good time in the open air.
It takes place in front of the Palace of Europe, not far from all the European institutions of Neustadt. It stretches over twenty-six hectares and was planted, according to some sources, at the very beginning of the nineteenth century according to André Le Nôtre's plans.
It is still possible to admire an artificial lake and a cave dug at the end of the nineteenth century, the Joséphine pavilion listed historical monument, or the beautiful fountain of the Charmille. The whole park of the Orangery is now classified as an historic monument.
If there are only three of the orange trees left, the park also has a zoo, a mini-farm, a stork reintroduction center, a bowling alley, a children's car circuit and sports fields. or playgrounds.
