Things to see and do Issy-Les-Moulineaux

The park was once part of the surrounding Saint Sulpice seminary. Only the memorial monument of seminarians, located in the upper part, bears witness to this religious past. Named "John Paul II" in remembrance of a visit of the supreme pontiff on June 1, 1980 in Issy-les-Moulineaux, this beautiful 1.8 ha park includes a pool where the fish quietly swim, a playground for the toddlers, and a sports route.

The church Saint-Étienne, built in the seventeenth century, lies in the heart of the ancient medieval village. She has a Roman-inspired tympan. In the nineteenth century, it has been equipped with numerous paintings of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, a retable of the Virgin, a organ, currently in the process of restoration, and stained glass. The building, which was renovated until 2008, was inscribed in the inventory of Historic Monuments in 1929 and is particularly appreciated by the inhabitants. The church is an important liturgical center, a gathering point for many people before the proposed activities.

The Tower in the figures of Jean Dubuffet, which is seen from each bank of the Seine, dominates the 21.5 ha of the park's surface with its vivid colors. The gardens are planned to allow the natural development of vegetation to promote the appearance of spontaneous plant species and protect wildlife. With a little luck, you can see the Martin fisherman. You can also see the vegetal wall installed on the back façade of the old bakery on the island. In short, it is the ideal place to get the illusion of being in the countryside. There are walks, sportsmen, families, strollers and beautiful days, the lawn is dressed by a population that is bronze, quite simply. Finally, throughout the year, the park becomes the theater of cultural events: concerts, carnival party. Nearby, Ile Seguin, which turns at high speed. Many spectators from the "Seine Musicale" walk before or after, with the same interest in these places.
