Parc André Citroën, Urban park in Javel, France.
The 14-hectare park features a central rectangular lawn, two greenhouse pavilions, dancing fountains, and a monumental canal with reflecting pools.
The land was transformed from a Citroën automobile manufacturing plant that operated from 1915 to the 1970s into Paris's largest new park in 1992.
Six themed gardens correspond to different metals, planets, days of the week, states of water, and human senses through specific design elements.
The park maintains multiple entrances along Rue de la Montagne de la Fage and provides direct access to scientific workshops at Etincelles du Palais.
A tethered helium balloon lifts visitors 300 meters above Paris, offering views of the Champ de Mars, Seine, Sacré Cœur, and Notre Dame.

A very pleasant park where people also go to enjoy the fixed hot air balloon that takes off from within. Great view of Paris from up there!
