A place worth knowing

Plan this as a walk through the parts of the park that are open. The slopes can make a short outing feel substantial, so choose your route with the energy you have rather than the distance on a map.

Entry is free, but extensive restoration means the central area and the Temple de la Sibylle are closed. Follow barriers and the City’s current works notice; do not plan on reaching the temple. Closing times vary seasonally. The 2014 photograph predates the current works and does not indicate which paths are accessible today.
