A Walk Around Parc Georges-Brassens, Paris
Parc Georges-Brassens is a public park located in the 15th arrondissement of Paris, between rue des Morillons and rue de Périchaux. Opened in 1984, it occupies 7.74 hectares on the site of a former fish market, horse market and slaughterhouse, and preserves some of the old market structures. It is named for the French popular singer Georges Brassens (1921–1981) who lived in the neighborhood of the park at 9 impasse Florimont and 42 rue Santos Dumont. The nearest metro stations to the park are Convention and Porte-de-Vanves.
The statue of a bull on the entrance gateway is a reminder that the park was a former slaughterhouse.
The markets and slaughterhouse had been built on the site between 1894 and 1897, and were gradually closed down between 1969 and 1979. The city of Paris considered first using the site for public housing or a sports complex, but engineers discovered that the ground was unstable due the presence of abandoned quarries, and would have involved considerable improvements, so it was decided to build a park instead.
The new park was designed by the architects Ghiulamila and Milliex and the landscape architect Collin. After the public outcry that followed the destruction of the structures of the old Paris central market, Les Halles, the architects decided to keep some of the original structures of the old market, notably the gateway, the bell tower of the old fish market and the iron-framed shelter of the horse market. At the same time, they needed to integrate several public buildings into the park, including a pre-school, a center for senior citizens, and a theater; and to use greenery to conceal the building of the prefecture of police, next to the park.
The park has its own vineyard on the hillside
The central feature of the park is a large pond, bordered by lawns and groves of trees. The park also has a rose garden and a garden of medicinal and aromatic plants. The sloping hill of the park features a vineyard, a winding stream, and a jumble of artificial stones for children to climb. The highest part of the park is home to a collection of beehives.
The central entrance gates to the park are topped by two sculptures of bulls by Isidore Bonheur, a note to the site's former use as a slaughterhouse. An old gateway is crowned by a bronze horse's head. The old bell tower of the former fish market stands beside the pond, and the former shelter of the horse market is now used on weekends as a market for old books. The park also has a bust of Georges Brassens made in 1989 by the sculptor André Greck.

Paris, France - Parc Georges Brassens (2018)
Parc Georges-Brassens is a public park located in the 15th arrondissement of Paris, between rue des Morillons and rue de Périchaux. Opened in 1984, it occupies 7.74 hectares on the site of a former fish market, horse market and slaughterhouse, and preserves some of the old market structures. It is named for the French popular singer Georges Brassens (1921–1981) who lived in the neighborhood of the park at 9 impasse Florimont and 42 rue Santos Dumont. The nearest metro stations to the park are Convention and Porte-de-Vanves.
Paris is the capital and most populous city of France, with an area of 105 square kilometres (41 square miles) and a population of 2,206,488. Since the 17th century, Paris has been one of Europe's major centres of finance, commerce, fashion, science, music and painting. The Paris Region had a GDP of €681 billion (US$850 billion) in 2016, accounting for 31 per cent of the GDP of France. In 2013–2014, the Paris Region had the third-highest GDP in the world and the largest regional GDP in the EU.
The City of Paris's administrative limits form an East-West oval centred on the island at its historical heart, the Île de la Cité; this island is near the top of an arc of the river Seine that divides the city into southern Rive Gauche (Left Bank) and northern Rive Droite regions. Paris is the core of a built-up area that extends well beyond its limits: commonly referred to as the agglomération Parisienne, and statistically as a unité urbaine (a measure of urban area), the Paris agglomeration's 2013 population of 10,601,122 made it the largest urban area in the European Union. City-influenced commuter activity reaches well beyond even this in a statistical aire urbaine de Paris (a measure of metropolitan area), that had a 2013 population of 12,405,426, a number one-fifth the population of France, the largest metropolitan area in the Eurozone.
The city is a major rail, highway, and air-transport hub served by two international airports: Paris-Charles de Gaulle (the second busiest airport in Europe after London Heathrow Airport with 63.8 million passengers in 2014) and Paris-Orly. Opened in 1900, the city's subway system, the Paris Métro, serves 5.23 million passengers daily, and is the second busiest metro system in Europe after Moscow Metro. Paris's Gare du Nord is one of the ten busiest railway stations in the world, with 262 million passengers in 2015.
Paris is especially known for its museums and architectural landmarks: the Louvre was the most visited art museum in the world in 2016, with 7.4 million visitors. The Musée d'Orsay and Musée de l'Orangerie are noted for their collections of French Impressionist art, and the Pompidou Centre Musée National d'Art Moderne has the largest collection of modern and contemporary art in Europe. The historical district along the Seine in the city centre is classified as a UNESCO Heritage Site. Popular landmarks in the centre of the city include the Cathedral of Notre Dame de Paris and the Gothic royal chapel of Sainte-Chapelle, both on the Île de la Cité; the Eiffel Tower, constructed for the Paris Universal Exposition of 1889; the Grand Palais and Petit Palais, built for the Paris Universal Exposition of 1900; the Arc de Triomphe on the Champs-Élysées, and the Basilica of Sacré-Coeur on the hill of Montmartre. Paris received 23 million visitors in 2017, making it the world's top tourist destination.
The football club Paris Saint-Germain and the rugby union club Stade Français are based in Paris. The 80,000-seat Stade de France, built for the 1998 FIFA World Cup, is located just north of Paris in the neighbouring commune of Saint-Denis. Paris hosts the annual French Open Grand Slam tennis tournament on the red clay of Roland Garros. Paris hosted the Olympic Games in 1900, 1924 and will host the 2024 Summer Olympics. The 1938 and 1998 FIFA World Cups, the 2007 Rugby World Cup, and the 1960, 1984, and 2016 UEFA European Championships were also held in the city and, every July, the Tour de France bicycle race finishes there.

Le rucher du Parc Georges Brassens
Surtout connu pour leur production de miel, les abeilles domestiques sont également des pollinisateurs très utiles. Alors qu'à la campagne, les ruchers sont touchés par le Syndrome d’Effondrement des Colonies, les abeilles parisiennes se portent plutôt bien et les ruchers se multiplient dans la capitale. Des floraisons variées et qui se succèdent, l'absence de pesticides, des températures moyennes plus clémentes : Paris serait-il le nouvel eldorado des apiculteurs ? Pas si sure ! S'occuper de ruches requière en effet un véritable savoir-faire et beaucoup de temps. Et n'oublions pas qu'une ruche c'est aussi l'arrivée de 20 et 50 000 abeilles domestiques dans un milieu déjà occupé par les pollinisateurs sauvages : gare à la surpopulation !
Thierry Duroselle, président de la Société Centrale d'Apiculture revient sur la place de l'abeille en ville dans cette vidéo tournée dans le rucher du Parc Georges Brassens, au cœur du 15e arrondissement. L'occasion de découvrir l'un des plus vieux rucher de la capitale. Créé en 1986, la quinzaine de ruches qu'il compte constitue un véritable rucher école : plus de 4000 élèves y sont accueillis et une centaine d'apiculteurs y sont formés chaque année.
Entretenu par des apiculteurs bénévoles de la Société Centrale d'Apiculture, le rucher ouvre exceptionnellement ces portes au public à l'occasion de la Fête du Miel (fin septembre en même temps que la Fête des Jardins). Un moment unique à ne pas rater !

parc kellermann paris 13
Le parc Kellermann occupe un espace du sud-ouest du 13e arrondissement de Paris, entre les boulevards des Maréchaux (ici, le boulevard Kellermann) et le boulevard périphérique. La porte d'Italie est située immédiatement à l'est, la poterne des Peupliers juste à l'ouest.
Le parc Kellermann s'étend sur 5,6 hectares, ce qui en fait le plus grand espace vert du 13e arrondissement, et le plus grand des espaces verts parisiens créés après la destruction de l'enceinte de Thiers (après le parc Suzanne-Lenglen).
Les jardins du parc s'étendent sur trois niveaux et sont parcourus par une rivière issue d'une cascade. Le parc dispose en outre d'aires de jeux et de terrains de sport.
Inaugurée le samedi 13 janvier 2018 par des élus de la mairie de Paris, une ferme pédagogique a été installée sur les hauteurs du parc. D’espèces variées, les animaux ont été achetés auprès d’éleveurs installés en Île-de-France ou en Normandie (chèvres, moutons, lapins, poules, dindes et un dindon)1,

Paris. Parks and Gardens. 13) Parc Georges Brassens et jardin du Luxembourg
The history of the Luxembourg garden
Acquired by Marie de Medici between 1614 and 1631, the Luxembourg garden underwent many modifications, until Haussmann's work, which gave it its current layout.
The current area of the estate - about 25 hectares - is roughly equivalent to that of the acquisitions of Marie de Medici, but its configuration has completely changed. It was not until the end of the Second Empire that the garden settled within its present limits.
In 1611, when the history of the Garden began, the suburb south of the Saint-Michel and Saint-Germain gates, on the left bank of the Seine, had become a mundane and country neighbourhood at the same time.
Queen Marie de Medici loved this quiet suburb, healthier than the Louvre district and where prominent members of her Italian entourage lived. So it was there that she thought of electing her home when she expressed her desire, after the assassination of Henry IV, to leave the Louvre. She therefore took care to acquire land large enough to build a house inspired by the Florentine palaces and a park reminiscent of the gardens of Boboli. In 1612, she first bought the Hôtel du Duc François de Luxembourg and the 8 hectares adjoining it. This was the first acquisition in a long series, for despite her financial embarrassment, the Queen Mother led virtually to her departure for the exile in 1631 of complex transactions.
The estate remained as it was until the Luxembourg Palace was given to the Count of Provence. In order to pay for the restoration of the Palace, the western end of the gardens was sold on the Notre-Dame-des-Champs side. About ten hectares were ceded in 1782, and the rue de Luxembourg, future rue Guynemer, was pierced. The sacrificed alleys included the Valley of the Philosophers where Rousseau, host in 1741 of the Hotel Saint-Quentin, on Rue Victor-Cousin, walked every morning exercising his recalcitrant memory on Virgil's elogues, as well as the Alley of Sighs, in the eloquent name.
The Garden was now oriented from north to south, like the Palace, and its area greatly increased: its end almost touched the Boulevard du Montparnasse.
The day after Marshal Ney was sentenced to death by the House of Peers, a cab acable took him at 8 a.m. on December 7, 1815, from the Palace, to the attic where he was being held, to the Observatory where he was passed by arms.
Haussmann's development was largely at the expense of the park, which was initially cut off by the widening of Rue de Vaugirard and the opening of Boulevard Saint-Michel. It was decided in 1865 to limit the garden to the south by an open street in the extension of the Street of the Abbot of the Sword, and to lot the nursery and botanical garden.
The decision sparked an outcry and petitioned, one of which reached 12,000 signatures. In one of his tales, Maupassant gives the nursery a description that justifies this indignation: It was like a forgotten garden from the other century, a garden as pretty as a sweet old man's smile. Bushy hedges separated the narrow and regular alleys, quiet alleys between two walls of custom-cut foliage. The gardener's large scissors kept lining up the branch partitions; from place to place there were flower beds, flower beds of small trees arranged like schoolchildren on a walk, beautiful rose societies and regiments of fruit trees.
