Parc is a fine product of a late twentieth century landscape design competition. Alain Provost and Gilles clement explained their design as having four themes with an overall transition from urban to rural. A white Garden and a Black Garden are set into the urban fabric and lead on to the park’s central feature-a vast rectangular lawn sliced through by a digonal path. The River Seine flows at the far end. Two glasshouse pavillions, separated by a pavement of dancing fountains, stand at the Urban end of the lawn. One flank of the lawn is bounded by a monumental canal and the other by two sets of small gardens : the six serial Gardens and a wild Garden in movement.
