DETAILS
GENERAL INFORMATION
This park has a whimsical, huge buried bicycle with parts that pop up out of the ground and it’s just one of the many pieces of art there you have to see!
Insider Tip
Afterwards, head over to the Canal just north of the park on a weekend night around midnight. With vast lawns that host an open-air cinema every summer, there are hundreds (if not thousands) of 20 and 30-somethings hanging out, drinking wine, and just having a good time.
The largest park in Paris, the Parc de la Villette is a cultural centre, kids’ playground and landscaped urban space at the intersection of two canals, the Ourcq and the St-Denis.
