Parc Micaud
An English-style garden laid out in 1843 along the Doubs, with views of the citadel, popular with locals for relaxing.
The park lies next to Pont de la République and the boat landing for Doubs river cruises. It has ponds, flower beds, century-old trees and a children's playground. The riverside path offers wide views of the old town roofs and the citadel on the hill. Free to enter, it is a good place to rest before or after a boat trip. Walking west along the river brings you to the Quai Vauban, and walking east takes you to the Cité des Arts et de la Culture.
