The Forest of Chatillon in Boulogne-Billancourt sits on land that once belonged to the Renault automobile empire. Where thousands of workers once shaped sheet metal for the assembly lines, rows of young trees now grow within a modern urban development. Architects designed this green space to replace a dense industrial zone, choosing hardy species that could thrive in soil reclaimed from factory foundations. A single rusted gear sculpture remains near the path, a quiet echo of the heavy machinery that previously occupied this ground.
