Parc Borély, Public park in Marseille, France
The 17-hectare park includes French gardens, English gardens, a rose garden with 1200 varieties, and a Chinese section near the Mediterranean coast.
The land belonged to Louis Borély, a wealthy merchant who commissioned architect Esprit Brun to build a grand bastide on the property in 1767.
The botanical garden houses 3,500 plant species, while the 18th-century Château Borély contains the Museum of Decorative Arts, Earthenware, and Fashion.
The park opens daily from 6:30 AM to 9:00 PM, offering playgrounds, sports equipment, bicycle rentals, refreshment areas, and direct access to Prado beaches.
When horse races are not scheduled, the 15-hectare Marseille-Borély racecourse transforms into a 9-hole golf course within the park grounds.
