Parterre III is made up of several arabesque-shaped containers placed in this natural pool at the Promenade Museum. The metallic shape obviously refers to the design of formal gardens such as Versailles, but here suggests the shape of the ammonite found in abundance on Geopark territory.
These forms are filled with soil and planted with aquatic species. Between April and September, the growing plants will overflow and hide the original design of the parterre. In this way, vegetation reclaims its rightful place in the forest, obliterating all traces of human work. The location of this installation highlights the contrast between the regularity of a parterre and the chaos of a forest.
