Parc des 5 Continents

The Parc des 5 Continents features a series of tall, weathered steel pillars that rise directly from the pavement, marking the transition between the dense residential blocks of Levallois-Perret and the open space. This land was once part of the sprawling industrial complex of the automaker Clément-Bayard, where workers built everything from early automobiles to airships in the early twentieth century. After the factory vanished, the city carved out this quiet, rectangular green space to replace the sounds of heavy machinery with trees.
