Discover Courbevoie: Parks, Museums and Heritage

Courbevoie offers several distinct themes for a trip: parkland with views over the Seine, museums in former artists’ studios and memorial sites. If you’re looking for a hotel for your stay, these themes can help you choose based on the character of your trip: should the focus be on views, art history or outdoor recreation? The places below offer specific starting points, without requiring you to fit them all into a single sightseeing itinerary.

Parkland, Views and Events

Parc de Bécon has been classified as a landscape feature since 13 May 1941, owing to its elevated position overlooking the Seine and its history. From the terrace of the former château, you can enjoy panoramic views of the Seine, Levallois-Perret, Paris and, in particular, the Eiffel Tower. This site therefore brings together a specific view over the Seine and a historic classification; either can be a reason in its own right to include the park in your travel plans.

The cultural programme includes the Théâtre de verdure in Parc de Bécon: following its restoration, performances are once again held there as part of an annual programme. Since September 2024, the theatre has also held the “Patrimoine d’Intérêt Régional” label. If you’re planning to visit the park not only for its views but also to see a performance, check the specific dates in the current programme; it may change.

Museums and Distinct Studio Histories

The Musée Roybet Fould is housed in the former studio villa of the painter Consuelo Fould (1862–1927). As of August 2026, the museum offers self-guided visits and guided tours for all visitor groups. Its historical connection to the painter and the choice between exploring independently or joining a guided tour provide two distinct ways to approach a museum visit.

The Pavillon des Indes is housed in the former studio villa of the painter Georges Achille-Fould (1865–1951). Its wooden section is inspired by Indian architecture and is a surviving relic of the 1878 World’s Fair; today it serves as a museum space. Visitors interested in architecture can explore both the studio’s history and the unusual origins of this part of the building. According to visitor information checked on 23 August 2026, the museum space is open to the public by reservation; a one-hour guided tour is also offered on Saturdays for €5, by reservation. Dates and reservation details may change, so check them before your visit.

Recreation and Memorial Sites

Parc des Berges de Seine offers several specific recreational activities: jogging, pétanque, exercising on outdoor fitness equipment and table tennis. Unlike Parc de Bécon, the focus here is on exercise and play, while Bécon is associated with views and a theatre programme. This makes it possible to choose between the two parks based on different interests, without combining them into a single walking tour.

The Église Saint-Maurice de Bécon also holds a cultural designation: it received the “Patrimoine du XXe siècle” label on 24 November 2011. A ceremony is held every 18 June at the Charles de Gaulle monument in Parc Charras. These are different historical points of interest for travel planning: a dated designation and an annual day of remembrance. If you’re planning your trip for 18 June, you can take the ceremony into account as a date-specific event.
