Park
Paris, France
Jardin de Reuilly - Paul-Pernin is a tranquil green space situated in the twelfth arrondissement of Paris. Originally home to the Gare de Reuilly, the area began its transformation in nineteen eighty-nine after a design competition. Currently, the park spans approximately fifteen thousand two hundred square metres, making it the third largest park in this district.
Named to honour Paul Pernin, a former mayor celebrated for his significant contributions to local development, the park embodies a rich fusion of urban history, artistry, and nature. The design was orchestrated by architect Pierre Colboc, alongside landscape architects François-Xavier Mousquet, Philippe Thomas, and Thierry Louf. Their vision is evident in elements like the Passerelle André-Léo, which elegantly guides visitors through the park.
At the heart of the park lies a gently inclined, semi-circular lawn covering about four thousand two hundred square metres. This is surrounded by thematic gardens and dotted with distinguished sculptures such as Amazone by Georges Chauvel, La Danse by Charles Malfray, and nude figures by Naoum Aronson and Raymond Delamarre.
It is linked to other green areas within the Promenade plantée network, including Jardin Hector-Malot, Jardin de la Gare de Reuilly, and Square Charles-Péguy. In two thousand ten, a distinctive fountain offering both still and sparkling water was introduced, adding a contemporary touch to this historic setting.
