Grandson Castle Parks

The landscape project is structured around a promenade designed to run all around the castle.
This route forms an additional tourist offering alongside the castle visit, encouraging visitors to extend their stay on site. The ramparts promenade provides a little-known perspective on the castle, allowing it to be seen from a new angle and revealing the site in all its facets.
