Very nice visit to this wonderfully maintained park. No false notes, few flowers because harmony is found above all in the arrangement and enhancement of the architectural elements. The sobriety is beautiful, classic. You can enjoy the perspectives and landscapes in complete tranquility.

Superb afternoon strolling the paths of this French garden. Guided tour using the app accessible via the QR code on the entry ticket.

Very disappointing, poorly maintained, it's not worth the 7 euros, it's better to go for a walk in the forest, it's free and prettier, I strongly advise against it!!! This is theft.

Very very very beautiful park which is definitely worth the detour!! Good welcome, leaflet and QR code to have explanations of the entire park on your phone. These are rich and pleasant, it’s very well done! Very few people, which is pleasant. A place suitable for strolling and resting because it is silent and very beautiful. Allow at least 2 hours to visit and stroll through the park peacefully. You can come with the stroller without worries because the paths are very well maintained. These are French gardens so if you want to see flowers, this is not the place.

Argos Theater

The ancient Argos Theater was built in 320 BC. and is located in Argos, Greece against Larissa Hill. Nearby from this site is Agora, Roman Odeon, and the Baths of Argos. The theater is one of the largest architectural developments in Greece and was renovated in ca 120 AD.

The Hellenistic theater at Argos is cut into the hillside of the Larisa, with 90 steps up a steep incline, forming a narrow rectilinear cavea. Among the largest theaters in Greece, it held about 20,000 spectators and is divided by two landings into three horizontal sections. Staircases further divide the cavea into four cunei, corresponding to the tribes of Argos A high wall was erected to prevent unauthorized access into the theatron and may have helped the acoustics, but it is said the sound quality is still very good today.

Around 120 CE, both theaters were renovated in the Roman style.
