Parc Beaumont by mikey_e
The Parc Beaumont is in the more modern part of town, east of the Château and the Parlement de Navarre. Given that it is in newer developments, the Parc has been designed along more modern lines, with crushed gravel walkways, a large gazebo and plenty of benches for those who get tired or just want to read. There are lots of open spaces, so this Parc attracts many people who come with their dogs. There are also rose arbours and gardens, small streams and a few monuments with poetry in Latin. One word of warning, however, is that the gazebo and the open spaces attract those who sleep rough, and in the morning I found a small group getting ready to leave their makeshift camp in the gazebo, about 20 minutes before police were on their way into the park.
