The interior and the park are two separate plans

The interior keeps municipal hours and shuts on Mondays. The outside you see from the path through the park, so you don't need to go in for the classic photo with the pond at sunset.

To see inside, reserve a free place on the city council website. It isn't compulsory, but it's recommended. In summer last entry is 18:30, far too early to stay for the sunset, so do the visit first and come back to the viewpoint afterwards.

The interior isn't adapted for people with reduced mobility.
