Parc Micaud, Public garden along Doubs River in Besançon, France.
Parc Micaud is a public garden along the Doubs River in Besançon with a dense tree canopy and riverside landscape. The park spreads across several hectares with pathways running alongside the water and multiple access points from the city.
Jean-Agathe Micaud, mayor of Besançon, created this garden in 1843 by transforming marshland into usable space. The project brought a green area to the city that had previously been unfit for use.
The 19th-century music kiosk stands at the center of the park and remains a venue for concerts and neighborhood gatherings. People come here regularly throughout the year to experience live performances and community events.
You can reach the park from the city center through several entrances with good walking connections. The different pathways are well suited for walks and outdoor recreation.
Underground passages connect the park to the Ile des Moineaux neighborhood, creating a hidden green corridor through the city. These subterranean links allow visitors to move between different parts of the city in an unexpected way.
