    Sehr schön gestalteter Park am Rande der Innenstadt. Am Sonntagmorgen leer und schön anzusehen. Am Tag dann viele Touristen und gegen Nachmittag und Abend leider ein Treffpunkt zwielichter Gestalten (Drogendealer und ihre Kundschaft). Schade für diesen schönen Park.

    We were blown away by this little place practically in the middle of the city. Fountain, small pond, the sound of falling water, just the perfect place for a little rest.

    It's a nice plaza where one can chill and walk. Near you can find the arc of triumph from Dijon.

    Toller Park am Rande der Altstadt. Sehr angenehm ist der große Brunnen in der Mitte. Bei warmem Wetter kann man sich mit Sprühnebel abkühlen - ein wahrer Segen.

    Who would have thought the idea of potable water originated in Dijon France? Gorgeous original reservoir harnessing a spring and feeding the village of Dijon.

    Excelent market, colorful vegetables and fruits. Inside you can find fish market with weird but fresh sea creatures.

    Mitten in der Stadt ein kleiner schöner Park. Liebespaare sitzen auf den Wiesen, Kinder spielen und Touristen fotografieren sich. Eine Idylle!

    "Darcy Square" besteht einmal aus dem Jardin de Darcy auf der Nordseite der Tram und dem Place Darcy auf der Südseite. Der Jardin Darcy ist ein sehr schöner Park mit Brunnen und Wasserspiel am Fuss des alten städtischen Wasserturms. Am Wasserturm gibt es ein kleines Cafe' , schattige Bäume und Bänke zum Sitzen. Der Place Darcy gegenüber ist ein städtischer Platz, den ein Triumphbogen ziert. Rundherum Lokale, Geschäfte und ein Kino.

    Sehr angenehmer Park am Ende der Altstadt. Als erster öffentlicher Park angelegt. Zum Dank für die Planung der ersten Wasserversorgung der Stadt mit Trinkwasser trägt der Platz und der Park den Namen von Henry Darcy dem französischen Hydraulik Ingenieur.

    Peaceful park with some excellent history of the development of Dijon’s drinking water, construction of a large reservoir, pool, fountains and tranquil gardens. Very popular place for locals to come and relax, eat lunch, read or just enjoy the view.

    This is where the owl walking tour starts, look on the ground at the main gate. It will take you to all the city highlights. See my other reviews for more information.

    Really cute park. The paths could be repaved, but the playground is unique and fun for kids.

  • 4/5 Mark R. 8 months ago on Google
    Cute little park with a beautiful fountain, a coffee concession and a carousel, and some tended gardens. Well worth a visit on a sunny day.

  • 4/5 Bob L. 7 months ago on Google
    A welcome shady space with an interesting story. It sits atop a reservoir of water collected from park and ride car parks etc..This is used to irrigate the linear parks along the tram lines, as well as the fountains in the park :-)

    A splendid park in the tres fantastique town of Dijon! A great place to sit or lie in the sun, have a picnic 🧺 or just catch up with friends.

  • 5/5 Mirza Akbar A. 1 year ago on Google
    The heart of Dijon. Every tourist attraction is walking distance from here. Explore the enriching Burgundian culture and cuisine with perfect bakery items.

    Great place to chill out near the historic center. Plenty benches under the shades of centennial trees ...

  • 5/5 Tim M. 1 year ago on Google
    What a beautiful little park to visit. Friendly staff at the icy store, dogs swimming in the pond. We had a dinner if bread and cheese at 9pm and it was wonderful to see all the people out enjoying the summer evening

    Beautiful sculptures in a a nice small garden

  • 3/5 Mrs M. 5 years ago on Google
    A decent respite from the city, quite a small park, more what I would consider a garden. It is very beautiful however and not without it's charm.

  • 4/5 Stef J. 4 years ago on Google
    It's a really nice place to relax (on the grass). There is also a small playground for children

  • 4/5 Simon P. 4 years ago on Google
    A nice little Park with a beautiful fountain and a large statue of a bear. It's a good place to sit in the sun and relax away from the Dijon traffic.

  • 5/5 Trish R. 2 years ago on Google
    Highly recommend learning about Henry Darcy before you come (because there’s not much about his contributions to science). This man was the founder of hydrology! The park was really fun with a lovely monument to the founding father of hydrology. Kids liked the play equipment.
