About Palais Longchamp

The monument a spectacular complex of fountains, museums and a park is a one-stop family location for tourists. The unparalleled design featuring statues of lions, bulls, women and other motifs have been preserved very well and the landscaping blends well with the surrounding complex giving off a surreal vibe, enticing every visitor to want to dig in deeper into the history of the Palais.

 Easily accessible and a mammoth monument sitting in the center of the city sitting picture-perfect with landscaping directly out of a storybook, the appeal of the building is not only its exterior but the Museums housed by the Palais and the zoo.

All in all a great experience for any family visiting the city.
