In the 15th
The garden of many colours

The André Citroên park is a modern park known (among other things) for its two large greenhouses (one houses tropical plants and the other Mediterranean with orange trees), its Generali balloon (to discover Paris from 150m above the ground) and its water jets in summer when it’s very hot (children love it). And it’s the only park in Paris that has a view of the Seine.

The large lawns allow you to picnic, meet up with friends or several families or come and sunbathe! Bring your badminton rackets and a ball

Hot air balloon flight (the Generali balloon)

  • The Generali Balloon is open every day from 9 am until 30 minutes before the park closes.
  • Before coming, check on ballondeparis.com if the ball can fly or not

Activities at André Citroën Park

  • The park is made up of several gardens : the Black Garden, the Blue Garden, the Green Garden, the Orange Garden, the Red Garden, the Silver Garden and the Golden Garden. Each refers to a metal, a color, a planet, a meaning, or a day of the week
  • Alleys and side alleys allow you to walk around (very practical with strollers) and discover an incredible plant palette that changes color with the seasons
  • The White Garden for children : a ball playground, 2 ping-pong tables (remember to take your rackets and ping-pong balls), a zip line and games on a soft floor
  • The Black Garden for children : 5 enclosures with 2 sandboxes topped with spring games, wooden huts and slides
  • For teenagers : a 350m2 space to exercise without disturbing others

Water jets at the André Citroën park

Water jets to cool off during the heatwave in Paris

  • It is an unmissable event for young Parisians in July and August
  • In theory, swimming is forbidden in fountains that . So, beware of slips and falls of children (only you will be responsible if you are hurting)
  • Don’t forget sunscreen, hats and swimsuits !
