Parc des Promenades, Urban park in central Alençon, France
The Parc des Promenades spans four hectares behind the Town Hall, featuring century-old trees, rose gardens, aviaries, rockeries, and a terrace with a gazebo.
Created in 1783 as the first public park in Alençon, the land was previously part of hunting grounds maintained by the Dukes of Alençon for deer.
The park's music kiosk, built in 1888 on an octagonal stone base, serves as a central venue for community gatherings and outdoor performances.
Visitors can access the park through entrances on Rue Balzac, Rue Candie, and Rue Albert 1er, with opening hours extending from 7 AM until late evening.
The park transforms during summer into an entertainment hub, hosting Alençon Plage festival, outdoor cinema screenings, and sports activities for the community.
