This marvellous 100-hectare park was designed by the French horticulturalist and landscape gardener Edouard André (1840-1911) who spent three summers here designing it with his son at the end of the 19th century. Originally containing an estimated 500 native and foreign species, the current park boasts considerably more including pine, fir and elder trees plus over 600 varieties of plant including 24 considered to be endangered. The park, which is the perfect place to stroll or cycle, also contains several statues, ponds full of ducks and swans and a small zoo. The beach next to the park was granted Blue Flag status in 2004.
