Palace in a beautiful location. View not only of the harbor, but also of Notre Dame, the islands of If and Frioul. A nice place for a walk, a picnic, relaxing with a view or yoga time. I highly recommend coming here for the sunset (just be careful, it is very windy here).

What a beautiful surprise that we randomly happened upon. The lights were an added bonus. They turned on right as we were walking up the hill. Beautiful views of the city lights at sunset.
