GOLDEN HEAD PARK
Activities: We went to Parc de la Tête d’Or. There's a square with games and a sandbox. We also enjoyed a picnic in the grass and running barefoot. We discovered the flamingos, ducks, deer, and turtles of the park
Highlights: It's a great park with green areas and shaded spots for a picnic. My daughter, who was 20 months old, really enjoyed the square after a stroller ride. We also loved discovering the animals, like the flamingos. It's always a super fun time for the family! ✨
