Grand Rond
Description
A large roundabout in the centre of town isn't normally an attraction, but due to the size of the traffic feature it was possible to turn the middle into a pleasant park that once you're inside you wouldn't know you were on a traffic island. There is a large fountain, a band stand, cafe and several large planting beds. Large trees form an outer ring to help shield both the site and noise of the traffic. Two bridges link the park to the Jardin des Plantes and the Jardin Royal allowing uninterrupted walking between the three gardens.
