Parc Gaston Jankiewicz — Attraction in Palaiseau

Is there a better time to visit a busy airport than during lockdown? Probably not as long as the weather is good. This park is a bit of a puzzle. On the plus side it is well maintained, very well-equipped in the children's play area (Zip line, modern see-saw etc) It has a jet fighter, a nice pond, plenty of places to sit down, (avoid the geese!) a large picnic area, and a fairly big snack bar (closed at the moment).
