Parc de la Villette

Wandered out to Parc de la Villette on the outer edge of Paris in a very working class area. These former slaughterhouse grounds now make the largest park in Paris and its second largest greenspace after Pere Lachaise cemetery. The vast, futuristic park split by the Canal de l'Ourcq also houses the La GĂ©ode, a giant sphere containing a 360- degree movie screen - like an IMAX. I watched Dinosaurs in 3D. Wild.
