A getaway to Parc du Colosse in Saint-André
As soon as I passed the gate of Parc du Colossus in Saint-André, a feeling of vacation came over me.
It's as if all the weight of everyday life has suddenly been lifted. Entering through the square, I found myself in a real relaxation area where a warm and lively atmosphere reigns.
There, the tempting smells of freshly baked pizzas and tasty burgers filled the air. Visitors stopped to enjoy a coffee or a good meal, comfortably seated on the terrace.
We feel here that time passes differently, with a gentle slowness, especially on Thursday evenings, when karaoke resounds joyfully, attracting young and old (check depending on the period).

As you move forward, the space opens onto a vast expanse of greenery. The park is immense, a true haven for lovers of outdoor recreation.
