Parc Clichy-Batignolles - Martin Luther King

This park occupies land that formerly served as a vast industrial freight yard for the French national railway company. You are walking through a landscape that has been intentionally designed to retain its industrial soul, with the layout reflecting the structural lines of the old tracks and warehouses that once defined this sector of the seventeenth arrondissement. The transformation began in the early two thousands, effectively repurposing a restrictive, mechanical site into a sprawling ten hectare green lung for the city.
