Overview

Opposite the zoo, a network of paths wind up and down the slopes of this 30-hectare (75-acre) zone of bush and woodland. A popular site among joggers, there's no obligation to follow their lead as this unusual spot can be appreciated at a more moderate pace. There are picnic sites and children's play areas for the least sportive and youngest visitors. Smoking is prohibited, to prevent the risk of fire as much as to protect the health. Particularly during the evening, the site has acquired a reputation as a gay meeting place.
