Montbéliard. In search of freshness at Près-la-Rose in Montbéliard

In the heart of the Près-la-Rose park in Montbéliard, a man and a child are having fun spinning the famous Galileo ball.

This 1,500 kg granite sphere, placed on a base and set in motion by a simple trickle of water, attracts young and old alike, fascinated by its apparent lightness. A true technical feat, it has become the symbol of this urban park in the City of Princes, a popular oasis of freshness in summer. Surrounded by trees and shaded areas, the fountain is much more than a game: it embodies the alliance between science, nature, and relaxation. An essential cocktail for families in the Montbéliard region looking for a place to walk just a stone's throw from home.
