Perched over the river, the Parc du Bassin Bonsecours is a grassy expanse enclosed by a waterway and crisscrossed with footbridges. In summer you can rent paddleboats or remote-control model sailboats; in winter the ice-skaters take over at the Patinoire. There’s a well-placed bistro with outdoor seating in the summer.
