Category:Esplanade Jean-Marie Louvel

English: in 1727, the land to the east of the Abbaye aux Hommes was raised by 25 feet: a retaining wall was built to the south in order to form a large esplanade on which formal gardens were laid out, comprising flowerbeds, rows of trees and knot gardens. These elements were replaced by lawns and horse-chestnut trees in the 19th century. In 1964, the formal gardens of the Esplanade Jean-Marie Louvel were redesigned by Louis Bouket according to plans dating back to the 18th century.
Français : en 1727, les terrains à l'est de l'abbaye aux Hommes sont remblayés de 25 pieds ; un mur de soutènement est construit au sud afin de former une grande esplanade sur laquelle on aménage des jardins à la Française, formées de parterres, de bosquets et de labyrinthes. Ce jardin est transformé en parc planté de marronniers au XIXe siècle. En 1964, les jardins à la Française de l'esplanade Jean-Marie Louvel ont été redessinés par Louis Bouket d'après des plans du XVIIIe siècle.
