Parc André Citroën is a modern urban park of 14 hectares on the left bank of the Seine. It opened in 1992 on the former site of the Citroën factory. The park blends clean geometric lines with playful elements, making it a striking example of contemporary landscape design.
At its heart lies a vast lawn flanked by two glasshouses filled with tropical and Mediterranean plants. To the south is the ‘Jardin des Métamorphoses’, with a long reflecting pool and shimmering granite walls. To the north are six themed gardens—each dedicated to a color, a planet, a metal, a sense, water, and a day of the week.
A unique attraction is the Ballon Generali, a tethered hot-air balloon that lifts you up to 150 meters for panoramic views of the Seine, Sacré‑Cœur, and the Eiffel Tower.
