This small, French-inspired park features a central avenue lined with statuesque plane trees. Come evening, this walkway regularly transforms into a stage for lively dancing locals. Leafy trees, colourful flowerbeds and well-trimmed hedges fill the rest of the space, making for a scenic stroll away from the busy, neighbouring shopping highway. A short breather here will leave you feeling calm and recharged.
