A 19th century park dating back to the 2nd Empire full of German chalets that began life as an animal breeding centre and is now just a park, although it has some interesting features and seems pretty safe (not necessarily true of other SP parks like Trianon/Luz). A good Saturday morning excursion for parents with young children - swings, a mini zoo, an aquarium, at 11am usually a free open air theatre. There is also a pond full of ducks and next to it a reconstructed hut which serves traditional corn meal griddle cakes cooked over an open fire and free coffee for 25p each.

Also worth noting is the farmer's market selling organic produce (Tues and Sat, although it's only on Sats that stallholders turn out in force - look out for the Demetria stall selling first rate biodynamic breads/jams/dairy products, only to get e.g. their butter you have to be there before 8 am or call them and order in advance.
