Go there and contact
A water garden planted with cattails and rushes, where the tortoise occupies a special place in Paris
This garden was created in 2006, along with the Musée du Quai Branly. Before entering, you discover (side quay Branly) the plant wall designed by the botanist Patrick Blanc. Of 800 m ², this vertical surface presents 15 000 plants from 150 endangered species from all over the world. You then explore a set of spaces imagined by landscape landscape Gilles Clément. They take a savamment "wild" look. The two hundred trees and species of herbaceous species (oak, maple, rose, spurge, needle, rush, feather, cherry…) are covered here and cover hilly areas, which enjoy a wide range of winding and bassins. Here and there, you décèlerez the oval shape of the tortoise's shell, a fetish animal of this garden. Finally, under the museum, don't miss the "O", an installation by Yann Kersalé. In the midst of plants, light rushes are lit up by the day and draw shapes on the ceiling of the building.
