As for the third essential place, there were multiple teams formed among the responses. According to Anaïs, assistant manager, and Idriss, night receptionist, the place to discover and complete their top 3 is the Darwin district, a former military barracks transformed into an eco-district where you can have a drink, explore street art, or visit the urban farm. On the other hand, Mannon, receptionist, and Antoine, chef, prefer to enjoy nature by visiting the public garden (Jardin Public) and its botanical garden (Jardin Botanique).
