Paris Garden of the Atlantic

An amazing sight can be seen on the roof of the French station Montparnasse, which is located in the 15th arrondissement of Paris - it is a hanging garden or garden of the Atlantic. Built in 1992-1994, the area is 3.4 hectares. It was intended to create an atmosphere, dipping into which any visitor can imagine himself on vacation near the ocean coast, as well as in other exotic parts of the world. This is the coolness of coniferous and deciduous forests, and golden sand underfoot, in some places pebbles, and comfortable tennis courts, as well as all sorts of water devices with fountains.

The authors of the project were landscape designers and architects Bruhn, Penn and Schnitzler. This complex structure rises above the train station and car park at a level of 17 meters from the street. The ventilation system and communications are located along the perimeter of the entire garden. Everything in the building is strictly accounted for. Fertile soil should not exceed 20 centimeters, niches of 1 meter 80 centimeters are built for individual specimens of trees for the development of the root system.

A trip to the Atlantic Park will be unforgettable at any time of the year, as perennial flowers and evergreen trees grow here.
