More information on Bois de la Bâtie
These woods take their name from the Bastie-Mellié fort built in 1318 and destroyed in the 16th century. In 1869 the Turrettini brothers left the land to the City on the condition that it be kept as a public park. Over the years additional land has been acquired and today it covers more that 20 hectares. A large paddling pool, a challenging playground, and a river means there is plenty to do. There is also a small zoo (no entrance fee). The tired and hungry can refresh themselves in one of the two restaurants.
