Promenade Cesária Évora Garden

The Promenade Cesária Évora Garden occupies a space once defined by the massive Macdonald warehouses, a site that has been completely reimagined to serve as a hub for local life and ecological connectivity. This modern public space provides a vital green corridor in the nineteenth arrondissement, linking the area to the nearby Petite Ceinture railway tracks and the Saint-Denis Canal. The garden serves as a living tribute to the Cape Verdean singer Cesária Évora, known worldwide as the Barefoot Diva for her habit of performing without shoes to honor the poverty she endured during her childhood in Mindelo.
