While looking back through my photos, I realized I never shared photos from the beautiful Parc André Malraux in Nanterre. We visited in May, 2024 when the park was bursting with color, and new life.
This 61 acre (25 hectare) park was established in the 1970s in an area that consisted mostly of shantytowns, vacant lots and old gypsum quarries. The idea for the park came from the Minister of Cultural Affairs, André Malraux, which was then passed to Jacques Sgard, landscape architect, to create. Click here to learn more about the history of the park. Today it is a lovely oasis in the big city.
Afterwards, we wandered through Nanterre and found a quiet cafe for lunch.
The park is about a 50 minute train ride from La Défense and there is no admission fee.
I hope you enjoyed visiting this garden. As always, I would love to hear from you so leave a message if you’d like.
Happy spring!

It’s a gorgeous garden,Tricia! Those bags are either bug traps or alternatively are used for propagation almost like taking a cutting. They’ve been used in the parks around here for bug control. Cheers.
