Parc floral des Thermes, Historical garden in Aix-les-Bains, France.
Parc floral des Thermes is a garden in Aix-les-Bains featuring mature trees such as cedars, lime trees, and plane trees enhanced by seasonal flower displays throughout its grounds. The site also includes an outdoor amphitheater and supporting structures that shape the visitor experience.
The park was created in 1865 on the former estate of the Marquis d'Aix and opened to the public in 1869 with new facilities including a reservoir and a greenhouse. These early developments established it as an important public space for the town.
The outdoor amphitheater built in the 1930s hosts summer concerts and dance performances that animate the grounds with music and movement. Visitors experience these events under the open sky, where the space becomes a gathering place for the town's cultural life.
The park is best explored on foot with wide paths that are easy to navigate and seating areas scattered throughout for resting. Visitors should wear light clothing and bring sun protection, especially during warmer months.
