Parc du Contades

  Parc du Contades, situated near the historic Palais des Rohan in Strasbourg, is a picturesque park that dates back to the early 19th century. Designed by landscape architect Jean-Baptiste Duvigneaud, it showcases a blend of French and English gardening styles over its expansive 5.5 hectares. The park is often a hub for both locals and visitors, especially in the spring months of April and May when its flower beds come alive with color. Strolling along its well-maintained paths, you’ll find a variety of tree species, including plane trees and chestnuts, along with a charming pond where ducks often gather. It’s a great spot for a leisurely walk, a picnic, or simply enjoying the lush greenery in the heart of the city.
