Since the eighteenth century, the Orangerie Park has been a favourite place to stroll and relax for the people of Strasbourg. Recognised as a remarkable location in terms of its landscape art and history, it has been on France's Historical Monuments list since 1993.Its wide expanse of greenery delights the park's walkers in every season. It is also the perfect place for family outings.
Created in the eighteenth century, the French-style promenade has tree-lined, intersecting, geometrical paths that run through the park alongside wilder, English-style landscaping arrangements, created a century later, that have winding paths and artfully untamed plantings. Added to that is an artificial lake with a waterfall, created for the 1895 Industry and Crafts Exhibition.
