ESPLANADE Paris-La défense

The Esplanade, a major public space in La Défense business district, is part of the historic axis linking the Louvre, the Tuileries garden (Le Nôtre), the Champs Elysées and the Great Arche. One of the challenges of its requalification as a park will be to preserve the classical character that Dan Kiley gave it in 1972, when he proposed a modern reinvention of the French garden.
