Parc des Bastions

Is there something more beautiful than enjoying a quiet, astonishing, botanical garden? Well Parc des Bastions is a perfect place for the both adults and kids! The adults can have some time to relax between the greenery and nature, while the kids can enjoy their time playing with the checkers board placed on the ground, as well as the playground!

It also houses the Reformation Wall, a monumental wall that stretches about 100m and honors many of the main individuals, and documents the Protestant Reformation by depicting them in statues.

During the winter, the Christmas Market transforms the park  into an enchanting park called: “Noel aux Bastions”. So, what is more convivial than a hot chocolate or fondue in an all-wooden chalet in the heart of this beautiful Christmas Market in the middle of abundant lights and scenery?
