Aurence Park
It is a large forest park crossed by the aurence river and part of which is reserved for animals: for the greatest pleasure of children (and adults). In addition to strolling through the undergrowth or along the river, you can chatting with a Senegal dwarf goat and discover its congeners: guinea fowl from Africa, angora goat from Tibet, or Limousin rooster.
Victor Thuillat Park
Dreaming friends, in search of serenity and relaxation, go to the Victor Thuillat park which is a fine example of English garden : varied species, remarkable trees, quietly meandering river, irregular shapes... The aesthetic here favors the rediscovery of nature under its “wild” appearance.
auzette park
This park covers part of the edges of Vienna and Auzette is a river which flows into the Vienne between two bridges, the Pont-Neuf and the Pont Saint-Martial. We meet there for a little freshness, to walk, to walk our dog or even to go jogging. Here and there it's like being in the forest, the rustling of the water attests to the calm that reigns there. The atmosphere is quiet and relaxed. In the park, we talk, we play basketball or we watch our children play on the swing or the turnstile.
