The Parc de l’Orangerieis a public park in the city of Strasbourg . It is located opposite the Palais de l’Europe and close to the other European institutions in the district known as the Orangerie , within the Neustadt . Its area is 26 hectares.

Naturally there’s a lot more to this fantastic park than that: You have a large boating lake, lots of long, leafy avenues, lawns, and even a mini-zoo and farm for kids. There’s also a stork reintroduction centre; this type of bird has a special place in Strasbourg folklore, and it’s meant to be good luck for a household if a pair perch on the roof.
