This is a lovely park that is situated between the main train station and the old town. There is a statue of Pompons Polar Bear at the entrance. This is the same sculpture that can be seen in Musee D'Orsay in Paris and Musee des Beaux Arts in Dijon. There is also a nice fountain/water feature. Many locals can be seen just enjoying themselves either sitting alone or talking with friends. Leave a Comment Address: Just west of Place D'ArcyDirections: between the main train station and the old town

The guide says you can do this in one hour but we took about four to do this taking in a lot of sights and shopping in-between.
The walk is very easy to follow, you start at the Tourist Office, just down from the train station and follow the brass arrows on the floor. When you come to a point where you should stop there's a large square with the number stop on it, you can buy a guide book on the walk in the Tourist Office for €2.50
Remember if you want to visit the market, start early, we got there mid-afternoon and they were packing up.

This is a crypt below Eglise St Benigne Crypt. It is very interesting and worth a visit. The Archaeology Museum is in the building next door, once a part of a monestary. Leave a Comment Address: at Place St BenigneDirections: A block south of Place Darcy along Rue Docteur Maret
