LOYD EDWARD

A great park with playground, public toilet, elevator, beautiful flowers and park benches... within walking distance to the beach (Plage Thiers), which makes it a perfect place to have an afternoon stroll, or just to bask in the sunshine!

Nice park to cool down and relax. Playgrounds for kids and a beautiful walking path around the park. The small tourist train also makes a pass through the park from time to time. Good views of the city and a hit of history with the model of the casino that used to be there 50 years ago

A haven of calm and freshness, it has been home to an arboretum since 1992, with 4 hectares of small plant treasures, rare or exotic plants and trees, a pretty rose garden with nearly 600 rose bushes. Sit down on one of the famous red Arcachon benches, then contemplate, smell, and appreciate the sweetness of the moment. It once served as a setting for the Mauresque casino, ravaged by a fire in 1977. This casino was the work of the architect Paul Régnauld and Jules Salesses. The architecture of this building was characterized by the great diversity of materials used: iron columns and beams, bricks and terracotta tiles, pine wood floors. At the elevator exit is a model representing the Alhambra.

What a pittoresque and beautiful little parc. Parc Mauresque is a historic public park located in Arcachon, France. Its story begins in the late 19th century, during the height of Arcachon’s development as a fashionable seaside resort. The park was part of the larger project of creating the “Ville d’Hiver” (Winter Town), a district designed to attract wealthy visitors seeking health benefits from the mild winter climate.

Really nice little park with a playground, rose garden and open library! It's located on a hill so gives a nice panoramic view of the town.

The park is a cool haven of peace and tranquillity; it has hosted an arboretum since 1992, with over 4 hectares of green treasures: rare or exotic plants and trees, and for a few weeks has been home to a beautiful rose garden with some 600 rose bushes. (Arcachon official website) A huge bull park, perfect to be a spectator of an important recreational sport of France. Every turn is a surprise with extremely well taken care of plants and trees. Exquisite and beautifully design combination and arrangement of plants.

Ok...so our experience was affected by our visit being by public transit from downtown Bordeaux....which is kind of remarkable if you think of how far it is from downtown Bordeaux....and we had out luggage with us. The trails are accessible. The network not long. All routes can be walked comfortably in 1.5 to 2.0 hours. Build in you 1/2 hour transit each way, and it a good frre 1/2 day activity. The ruins are VERY photographable.

A lovely park with fantastic views, really clean and well presented. A lovely walk, and easily accessible via a lift.
