The promenade

The whole shore, on foot or by bike.

A wide stone promenade runs along the lake: a cycling lane, benches, young trees, steps facing the water and wooden pontoons over the lake.

The lake

Boukornine opposite, flamingos as neighbours.

From the shore the view spans the whole North Lake: the outline of Mount Boukornine to the south-east, Fort Chikly on its islet, and the city lights as evening falls.

The Lake of Tunis is also home to pink flamingos, often visible from the promenade early in the morning and late in the day.
