Place du Village

The Place du Village, a place of life, exchange and sharing

Just like the meeting place of the citizens, the Paysalia’s Place du village (aka Square Village) will offer moments of relaxation and pleasure to the visitors and exhibitors of the show. The space will welcome you with a bowling alley, a coffee, a bookstore conducive to moments of conviviality before sharing in the Agora about many issues of landscape in our society. A new way to discover the 5 gardens of the Carré des Jardiniers contest, whose 2017 theme is also Place du Village.

This unusual place will be staged by Anne Cabrol, Master Gardener 2017, in collaboration with GL events.
TERIDEAL will carry out the landscaping with the support of the students and teachers of the Sainte-Consorce MFR.
Find her winning garden realized in 2017.

This is why mankind lives in houses, cities and urban spaces without – or only a little – nature. Yet, gardens have brought nature back. But now it is dominated, cultivated in every way, dictated by fashions and tastes in conditions controlled by techniques.

Gardens are the proof that nature cannot completely be evinced – and not only because it is useful. So, gardens are paradoxes – the sign of an ancestral fear of nature and the expression of a deep attachment to it. Gardens invite us into the complex relationships of man and nature.
