Parc départemental de l'Île-Saint-Denis

This green space sits along the Seine with wooded sections, walking paths, and open meadows for recreation and leisure. Different areas within the park provide varied landscapes and ways to spend time outdoors.

During the 1800s, painters came to this riverbank to capture the changing light and landscapes in their work. The artists were drawn to how nature and water looked at different times of day.

Wooden frames positioned at specific spots let you see the exact places that Impressionist painters once captured on canvas. These viewpoints connect what you see today with the artworks created here.

The park is free and open year-round with paved paths that are easy to navigate and accessible for different abilities. You will find play areas, seating spots, and parking available for visitors arriving by car.

The park contains tree species from different parts of the world, including Japanese Ginkgo trees and American sweet-gums. This botanical diversity means you can encounter plants normally found elsewhere while walking near Paris.
