Brassaï Garden

The Brassaï Garden sits on the site of a former reservoir, marked by a high, ivy-covered brick wall that separates the quiet greenery from the narrow streets of the Butte-aux-Cailles. The photographer Brassaï, who spent his nights capturing the shadowy, hidden life of Paris in the nineteen thirties, haunts this space through his namesake. His camera once lingered on the very textures and limestone walls that define this neighborhood, turning ordinary alleyways into scenes that feel perpetually caught between daylight and dark.
