Fodor's Review:
Built over the tracks of Gare Montparnasse, this smart designer park opened in 1994 is noted for its assortment of trees and plants found in coastal regions near the Atlantic Ocean -- hence the name. A museum building at the station end of the garden houses souvenirs and video coverage of World War II inside the Mémorial du Maréchal-Leclerc, commemorating the liberator of Paris, and the Musée Jean-Moulin, devoted to the leader of the French Resistance. In the center of the park, what looks like a quirky piece of metallic sculpture is actually a meteorological center, with a battery of flickering lights reflecting temperature, wind speed, and monthly rainfall.
- Open: Musee Tues.-Sun. 10-5:40
