Category:Jardin Durzy

English: The Durzy garden is at the back of the musée Girodet (crossroad Boulevard Durzy and rue du Loing). It was planted at the end of XIXth century, and contains 48 species of trees - a great diversity, taking into account its relatively small size. An information panel in the garden indicates that in this garden was held an important meeting in 1920 by the chinese people living in Montargis at the time - they represented a large community for the period. During this assembly, a young couple, Cai Hesen et son amie Xiang Jinyu, publicly declared their free mutual love (i.e. out of wedlock) and their will for reform of chinese mentalities regarding freedom for their country, thus turning away from the old feudal mentalities which were still strong at the time and especially so in China.
