Parcs et Jardins de Paris et Ses Environs
For over 350 years Parisians have designed and preserved phenomenal public outdoor spaces. In this book Jacqueline Widmar
Stewart follows the fine-spun threads of the parklands tapestry in greater Paris. Identification of various hallmarks of premiere parkbuilding eras imbues individual parks with multi-dimensional qualities and allows readers to experience these grand green places in the way Parisians do. Reaching back as far as its Roman heritage, vestiges of the history of Paris are apparent in virtually all its parks, regardless of size. Even the balanced distribution of green spaces throughout the city reflects a major 19th-century city-planning epoch. Translated from English publication Parks and Gardens in Greater Paris.
