The approachability of the park is in most respects, quite good. Two metro lines run from the city center far into the suburbs, and one of these
lines has a station on the north side of the site, and another on the south side. Ease of access is also related to the pattern of connecting
routes within the park. The north and the south ends of the park had to be linked in order to connect the most important attractions
(Museum, Grande Halle, and the Music Center), and an east-west route had to link the park to the city center and to the suburbs. Finally,
special attention had to be paid to the north and south sides of the site since they are the ‘gateways’ to the city (Porte de la Villette and Porte
de Pantin)
