Parc de l’Observatoire

Nestled in Bastion Saint-Antoine, the promenade owes its name to the observatory that was built in 1772. Two centuries later, the observatory was rendered useless because of the encroaching city lights. it was destroyed in 1969 and a new observatory was built in Versoix. Today, Parc de l’Observatoire boasts a magnificent sculpture of Henry Moore.
