Best places: Parks in Vitrolles, France

Expansive, well-maintained lawn around the Palais du Pharo with serene city & water views.

👍 Came with my daughter to spend the afternoon. Staff at the top and available. The courses are nice. Cold drinks and possibility of picnic on site. Small flat on the price a little high for my taste and the system of nominative loyalty card is a little "abused" for my taste.

Monument from the mid-1800s with a waterfall & reservoir built to bring water to the city.

Château estate, now a public park with 18th-century formal gardens & fountains, plus lakeside cafe.

Wild animal park, home to elephants, leopards & rhino, on rural plateau with 9km of walking trails.

Dinosaur models, including T. rex & Triceratops, dot these Mediterranean gardens at a lake's edge.

Green space along a river, popular for sports, picnics & fall walks under brightly colored leaves.

😠 Very poor place. In the zooloical garden are plastic animals, they are dirty and not really matching to this place. Garden is very big and with big potential so I hope someone will take care of this.

Formerly the estate of a wealthy local family, this city park is now fully owned by the council.

👍👍 Fantastic place for the kids. Our 4 years old had a blast, the staff was super friendly and knew how to explain things to young kids while keeping it fun. Definitely recommend!

Grand hotel in a restored 1700s castle with polished quarters, plus dining, a spa & an outdoor pool.

😠 Just a short walk to the beach and our car was hacked in the middle of the day, on thuesday. Local people just commented: It happens. Nobody cares! This is not a nice place, even though it was beautiful.

👍👍 Un joli parc aux portes de Marseille. On peut y venir en famille avec des enfants,ou bien grimper en crête lors d'une randonnée pour se régaler sur une belle boucle ,grâce à un sentier bien balisé pour découvrir une vue de Marseille et des collines environnantes .

👍 Très agréable parc que nous fréquentons régulièrement pour sa proximité, son espace et ses équipements. Tout proche du parking un espace équipé de tables et bancs vous permettra de faire vos pique-nique et vos parties de boules. Il est suffisamment étendu pour faire des balades de plusieurs heures,...

Climbing workshops for all ages & abilities in forest park with ropes, monkey bridges & zip wires.

👍👍 Inauguré le 14 février, un mois avant le confinement...ce n'est qu'hier que j'ai pu aller explorer ce nouveau parc de plus de 2ha de végétation méditerranéenne, le 54ème de la ville, bordant le Canal de Marseille et le Théâtre du Centaure. Cet ancien site agricole abrite la Bastide de la Jarre, du 1...

👍👍 Superb place, I highly recommend

Tranquil, historic park with a lake, many 19th-century trees, a playground, benches & public art.
