Located in Paris’s 15th arrondissement on the former site of the Vaugirard slaughterhouses, Parc Georges Brassens spans 8.7 hectares and opened in 1985. Centered around a pond with winding paths, the park features rolling terrain with a small bridge, clock tower, rose garden, fragrance garden, and medicinal plant garden equipped with braille. Children enjoy ping-pong tables, merry‑go‑rounds, sandboxes, play areas, climbing wall, pony rides, Guignol theater and a music kiosk. The ambiance is ideal for families, couples, and culture lovers.

Remnants of the slaughterhouse era – including a horses’ market hall now hosting a weekend antique book market, clock tower, statues of bulls and butcher figures – evoke the site’s industrial heritage. Sculptures include a bust of Georges Brassens by André Greck, a bust of Dr. Émile Decroix, a horse head, plus ‘The Donkey’ (Lalanne) and ‘The Bulls’ (Bonheur). There’s also a small Pinot Noir vineyard, the “Clos des Morillons,” with volunteer harvests and wine auctions benefiting local charities. An educational apiary engages kids and adults, hosting an annual Honey Festival in October.

The atmosphere blends natural tranquility with multigenerational activities. In summer, free fitness sessions are offered by “Paris Sport Dimanches”. Walkways are named after Brassens’ song titles, a poetic tribute. You can also enjoy kiosk concerts, children’s events, book markets, or simply relax on a bench.

Accessible by metro (Convention – line 12, Porte de Vanves – line 13), tramway T3a (Brancion, Georges Brassens), bus 95, and a few nearby parking spaces. Open year‑round from 8 AM (9 AM weekends) to about 9:30 PM in summer. Wheelchair accessible in parts, with public restrooms; no Wi‑Fi available.
