Paul Mistral park, Urban park with heritage status in Grenoble, France.
Paul Mistral Park is a heritage-protected green space in Grenoble covering 27 hectares, featuring mature trees, ponds, pathways, sports facilities, and the distinctive Perret Tower. The site offers different zones for walking, sports activities, or simply spending time in a varied landscape.
The site was originally a military ground before transforming into a park with the opening of the International Exhibition of Hydropower and Tourism in 1925. The Perret Tower was constructed at the same time as this transformation, becoming a defining feature of the landscape.
The park displays sculptures by artists including Apostu, Guasagnucci, and Rousil, installed following the 1967 art symposium held on the grounds. These works sit scattered throughout the green spaces, showing how creative works blend with the natural landscape.
Tram lines A and C stop near the Chavant station, which connects directly to the park. Several bus stops are located within easy walking distance, making public transport access straightforward.
The Perret Tower was Europe's tallest reinforced concrete structure when built in 1925. This architectural achievement remains visible from many spots throughout the site and defines its profile.
