Good to know

  • Look at the orangery: a central domed rotunda with glazed side galleries and columned pavilions at each end
  • In its cellars in the 19th century, growers produced what led to the birth of the chicon, Belgian endive
  • The pond at the bottom lies in the old moat of the second city wall
