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 built in 1865 and opened to the public four years later, in 1869. The open-air theatre was added in the 1930s for outdoor performances. In 2005, Moroccan craftsmen built a fountain at the centre of the park, replacing a pool, to commemorate the 1956 agreements on Moroccan independence negotiated in Aix-les-Bains. The park has been listed as a monument historique since 23 April 2008.
The open-air theatre in the park was built in the 1930s and seats three thousand people. Tea dances are held there regularly, and between July and August concerts are scheduled several evenings a week. It also hosts "Le Before", the opening event of the Musilac festival.
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.
A Moroccan fountain installed in 2005 by Moroccan craftsmen commemorates independence agreements negotiated at this location in 1956. This artwork marks an important political moment that unfolded here.
