Parc André Citroën was built in the 1990s on the site of a former Citroën car factory, and today mixes formal gardens, themed greenhouses, and open lawns along the Seine. Its best-known feature is a tethered balloon that lifts visitors above the park for panoramic views, drawing reviewers who describe it as an unforgettable, low-key alternative to the Eiffel Tower for a bird's-eye view of the city.
