The Pourtalès park surrounds a pretty 18th century castle made famous by Countess Mélanie de Pourtalès. Close to Emperor Napoleon III, in the last century she received all the European elite there.

Keep your eyes peeled! works of contemporary art are scattered there for the pleasure of young and old…
