Site with a grandiose landscape. Deserves further maintenance, I imagine that the gardener's budget must already be substantial. Thank you for allowing us access to this beautiful park.

A real pleasure to walk there regularly, a resident of Bécherel access is free, for those who have to pay € 7 know that in no case they are stolen. This monument has the merit of being preserved, the maintenance of the park is irreproachable

Beautiful park with many perspectives. Impressive view of the valley. A lung of greenery for very hot days.

Maintained. Multiple discrete places ... Too bad the trees can not tell everything they have witnessed! .. Retained its original aspects.

Odeon of Herodes Atticus

The Odeon of Herodes Atticus is a stone theatre structure located on the southwest slope of the Acropolis of Athens. It was built in 161 AD by the Athenian magnate Herodes Atticus in memory of his wife, Aspasia Annia Regilla. It was originally a steep-sloped theater with a three-story stone front wall and a wooden roof made of expensive cedar of Lebanon timber. It was used as a venue for music concerts with a capacity of 5,000. It lasted intact until it was destroyed and left in ruins by the Heruli in 267 AD.

The audience stands and the orchestra (stage) were restored using Pentelic marble in the 1950s. Since then it has been the main venue of the Athens Festival, which runs from May through October each year, featuring a variety of acclaimed Greek as well as International performances.
