Place Vendôme : Place Vendôme - Paris, France
This jewel garden is a tribute to a generous, fragrant, edible, melformive and sensory nature, as much as to the elegance of the neighborhood. Its clean lines of zinc are reminiscent of the roofs of Paris as well as the vegetable squares of the convents that enamel the neighborhood before Jules-Hardouin Mansart recompose the Place Vendôme at the end of the 17th century.
The design alternates sets of curves and lines stretched as a crimping, allowing users of the places to enjoy an anamorphosis garden where even the sky is reflected.
In this garden, plants produced in a circuit run by the French horticultural sector and cleverly staged by the Thomas Penni Burrows give this place unparalleled, unparalleled, lasting, season after season, in line with GECINA’s commitments to biodiversity.
