🌳 Historically, the 18th century marks a turning point: parks, gardens, and tree-lined promenades, open to the public, are considered essential for the physical and moral well-being of citizens.
🌿 During the Second Empire, the major urban projects undertaken in Paris by Baron Haussmann included an ambitious greening policy. Woods, parks, squares, and alignment trees were tasked with purifying, beautifying, and pacifying a rapidly growing industrial city.
🏙️ In recent years, community gardens have multiplied in the capital, and vegetable gardens now occupy unexpected spaces such as rooftops. Today, the largest urban farm in Europe is located on the roof of the Parc des Expositions in the 15th arrondissement!
🌲 Recently, an urban forest was inaugurated at Place de Catalogne, just steps away from Montparnasse station: 470 trees of various sizes and species have been planted.
🍃 Although it will take about ten years for them to reach their full height, they are already helping to cool the atmosphere, capture carbon, and preserve biodiversity.
🌱 This site, once very mineral, now offers a completely different face. Compared to other major European capitals, Paris still lacks green spaces, so every step forward is valuable!
