The name of this sprawling lakeside park – planted with horse-chestnut, yew, cedar, weeping beech and buttonwood trees – derives from moque souris (mice mockery) because the area was once overrun with rodents. Today it’s a delightful spot for a picnic, and has endearing playground areas such as a concrete ‘road system’ where littlies can trundle matchbox cars (BYO cars).
The park neighbours the groundbreaking 1920s-built Cité Universitaire (student halls of residence).
