Park
Paris, France
Jardin de Reuilly - Paul-Pernin is a green haven located in Paris's twelfth arrondissement. Once the site of Gare de Reuilly, the area was transformed beginning in nineteen eighty-nine following a design contest. Today, the park covers about fifteen thousand two hundred square meters, making it the third-largest park in the district.
Named in honor of Paul Pernin, a former mayor highly regarded for his contributions to local development, this park reflects a rich blend of urban history, art, and nature. The design was led by architect Pierre Colboc along with landscape architects François-Xavier Mousquet, Philippe Thomas, and Thierry Louf, whose vision is seen in features like the Passerelle André-Léo that guides visitors gracefully through the park.
The centerpiece is a gently sloping, semi-circular lawn of roughly four thousand two hundred square meters, surrounded by thematic gardens and sprinkled with notable sculptures such as Amazone by Georges Chauvel, La Danse by Charles Malfray, and elegant nude figures by Naoum Aronson and Raymond Delamarre.
Connected to other green spaces in the Promenade plantée network, including Jardin Hector-Malot, Jardin de la Gare de Reuilly, and Square Charles-Péguy. In two thousand ten, a unique fountain offering both still and sparkling water was added, introducing a modern touch to this historical setting.
