The park's territory is divided into several thematic parts. Immediately at the entrance guests meet two large greenhouses with citrus, palm trees and other heat-loving plants. The central esplanade is a well-groomed lawn resembling a silky grass carpet. There are also fountains in parc Andrée-Citro & euml; as well as artificial streams pouring directly into the Seine.
