Lonely Planet review for Esplanade

The formal flowerbeds of the Esplanade - and its statue of a gallant-looking Marshall Ney, sword dangling at his side (1859) - are flanked by imposing public buildings, including the Arsenal Cultural Centre (1863) and the sober, neoclassical Palais de Justice (late 18th century). West and northwest of the Esplanade, on both sides of blvd Poincaré, is a lovely riverside park graced with statues, ponds, swans and a fountain. In the warm months, pedal boats and rowboats can be rented on quai des Régates.
