Reviews of Parc André-Citroën Paris

After much anticipation, I have to say this was a disappointment. Water is the guiding light of this park but lack of funds has meant the fountains don't work (save one) and the pools have been drained. Even the butyl liner has been ripped. It still has its structure and it is easy to see that it could again be beautiful but sadly the maintenance is appalling and the horticultural skill of its gardeners is not great. The glasshouse containing Australian plants was dreadful - nitrogen deficiencies all over and plants starved of water and nutrients. The Black garden was a wreck.

The gardens are still looking OK but only just. This was late spring - the iris had just finished and the other late spring perennials were fine but come summer, I don't think it will look much. Such a shame. The city of Paris administration should be ashamed but apparently they have no funds.

What a shame the local residents who benefit don't band together to form a "Friends of Parc Andre " to raise funds or improve maintenance.

After Versailles, the Parc André-Citroën is the favourite park in Paris for me. It is by the river, it is sheltered, it is modern, the children can play in the fountains, you can lie on the grass and you can be near the park's own canals. Il était très beau!
