Inside one of the greenhouses
Parc André Citroën
Rue de la Montagne-de-la-Fage
Quartier de Javel, 15th arrondissement
Paris, July 2002
“The park is built around a central, rectangular lawn of roughly 273 by 85 metres (895' x 279') in size. It is embellished with two greenhouse pavilions (hosting exotic plants and Mediterranean vegetation) at the eastern, urban end which are separated by a paved area featuring dancing fountains. The south edge of the lawn is bounded by a monumental canal — the ‘Jardin des Métamorphoses’ — composed of an elevated reflecting pool that reaches through granite guard houses, lined by a suspended walkway. On the north side are two sets of small gardens: the six ‘Serial Gardens’, each with a distinct landscape and architectural design and a ‘Garden in Movement’ that presents wild grasses selected to respond at different rates to wind velocity. A 630-meter (690 yard) diagonal path cuts through the park.” (Parc André-Citroën, Wikipedia)
