All new, all beautiful: inaugurated on June 28, 2024, the Parc Olympe de Gouges is the new green nugget in Goussainville, in the Val-d'Oise département. Formerly a sports and leisure area, the Plaine Jean-Moulin has now been transformed into a wooded park bearing the name of Olympe de Gouges, a pioneer of feminism in France and the originator of the Declaration of the Rights of Women and the Citizen.

As for leisure activities, there's a trampoline and a playground designed especially for children.

There's also a picnic area where you can enjoy a day outdoors in fine weather. The park is open every day, all year round: to get there from Paris, take the RER D towards Creil (Goussainville stop, then a 20-minute walk).
