About
快速信息: You can stroll past more than a hundred statues and a broad octagonal pond where kids sail tiny wooden boats on sunny afternoons. A lively mix of sun-dappled lawns, chestnut trees, and a baroque fountain draws students, grandparents, and chess players sharing bench space.
亮点: Slip down to the Medici Fountain and you’ll hear water sluicing over scalloped stone as a reclining nymph and a bronze tarasque stare from opposite sides, a sculptural duet credited to Auguste Ottin. Around twenty children often race tiny wooden boats on the octagonal pond while a hand-cranked Guignol puppet troupe performs cheeky, satirical skits beneath the chestnut trees.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes for gravel paths and bring a light layer for changeable weather.
- Photograph the Medici Fountain from the southern steps at golden hour, and capture the palace framed behind the pond.
- Avoid weekends and lunchtime by visiting between 8:00–10:00 or late afternoon on weekdays for calmer paths.
- Bring small coins for the puppet shows, carousel, or to rent a model sailboat for the pond.
