Albert Kahn Garden
14-24 Rue du Port, 92100 Boulogne-Billancourt, France
Description:
The Albert Caen Garden, located in the southwest of Paris, was created in the early twentieth century by local banker Albert Cahn. The creator wanted to recreate childhood paintings associated with the gardens, and those landscapes that he met during his travels around the world.
A walk through the garden begins with the Japanese Garden, created in 1988. This is the newest part of the park. The main element of the garden composition is an artificial lake with streams and cascades.
At the level of the central point of the garden - a small stone, three axes intersect: the axis of life, death and the axis of the female and male principles. Next, you will find yourself in an English garden with a picturesque bridge, a small lake and bright shrubs. In addition to these two parts, you can see the French garden, the “blue forest” representing the decorative gardening of the Americas and Africa, and the palmarium characterizing Oceania.
