cardinal de Richelieu Garden

The Cardinal de Richelieu Garden features a stone wall salvaged from the ruins of a seventeenth-century residence that once belonged to the powerful statesman. This fragment, moved from its original location during urban redevelopment, anchors the green space today. It serves as a physical connection to the era when the area served as a retreat for the French elite along the Seine. The rough, weathered blocks contrast with the manicured flowerbeds, grounding the modern park in the history of the seventeenth century.
