Charlotte Valandrey Garden

The Charlotte Valandrey Garden honors the legacy of a resilient French actress and author who became a prominent voice for health advocacy. Valandrey rose to early fame in the 1980s, earning international acclaim and a Silver Bear for Best Actress for her debut performance in the political drama Red Kiss. Beyond her cinematic career, she spent her later years championing the cause of organ donation and transplantation awareness. This space serves as a tribute to her dedication, particularly her commitment to the Greffe de vie Foundation of Life Registry. After she died in 2022, the garden was established as a place for the public to reflect on her life and her openness about her personal medical challenges.
