Created between 1975 and 1980, the Tino Rossi Garden stretches nearly 3 hectares along Quai Saint‑Bernard, between Pont Sully and Pont d’Austerlitz. It honors Corsican-born entertainer Tino Rossi (1907–1983).

The park offers a nearly “feet-in-the-water” stroll with a lush, diverse palette of trees: ancient plane trees, weeping willows, flowering cherry trees, black pines, yews, rowans, and magnolias. Their seasonal colors and scents enchant visitors year-round.

Its true centerpiece is the Open-Air Sculpture Museum, inaugurated in 1980, showcasing over 50 modern and contemporary pieces by Archipenko, Arp, César, Brâncuși, Zadkine, Feraud, Etienne Martin, Guy de Rougemont, Marta Colvin, and others. Each artwork includes an explanatory plaque. Among the most bold is Ipoustéguy’s controversial fountain L’Hydrorrhage (1975–77).

In summertime, three natural amphitheaters by the Seine host free evening dance sessions—from tango to salsa, rockabilly and hip‑hop—from 7 pm to midnight, welcoming dancers of all levels.

The garden also caters to families and athletes with its playground, ping‑pong tables, fitness zones, skate‑park, and mini football field. Spacious lawns are perfect for picnics while watching river traffic.

Open 24/7 and free of charge, it remains accessible year-round, except in severe weather. Nighttime brings soothing Seine ambience.

Ideal for locals seeking calm, art enthusiasts, families, artsy students from nearby Jussieu, and community dancers.

Fun fact: Tino Rossi Garden was once poised to be a riverside expressway, but that plan was scrapped, leaving a cultural green space honoring the celebrated singer.
