Parc de la Colombière
Dijon, Burgundy
Just south of Dijon's city center, Parc de la Colombière is a 17th-century green space with large grassy areas, meandering paths, and thousands of trees. Thanks to playgrounds and animal enclosures it's particularly popular with families, and there’s plenty of space for kids to run around.
The basics
Parc de la Colombière highlights include a 17th-century pavilion (called the Temple of Love), a 19th-century sundial, and an animal enclosure home to alpacas, peacocks, and guinea pigs. There’s also a ping-pong table and plenty of picnic areas. Seasonal highlights include quadricycle bike rentals and the Ecodrome de Dijon rope course. Some cycling tours visit the park.
