Parc scientifique du Près-la-Rose, Science park on a peninsula in Montbéliard, France
Description
The Parc scientifique du Près-la-Rose is a ten-hectare green space located on a peninsula between the Allan River and a canal in Montbéliard. The park features botanical gardens, large insect sculptures, and scientific installations arranged throughout its walkable grounds.
History
The site was formerly an industrial area before being transformed into an educational space that combines nature with scientific discovery. This redevelopment gave the peninsula a new purpose as a place for learning and exploration.
Culture
The Pavillon des Sciences within the park hosts regular exhibitions that connect visitors with scientific principles through interactive displays and hands-on experiments.
Practical
The park is accessible through two parking areas with wide, well-maintained paths that circle the entire grounds and accommodate bicycles and wheelchairs. The layout makes it straightforward to explore different sections at your own pace.
Did you know?
A working Foucault pendulum stands outdoors demonstrating Earth's rotation, alongside a Galileo fountain and a giant sundial meridian for visitors to observe. These installations allow you to witness physics principles in action rather than just read about them.
