No, its a relatively new one opened up to the west of the city in a disused quarry. There were also great plans to have a metallic tree with flying birds on it, till the costs skyrocketed. https://jardins.nantes.fr/N/Jardin/Parcs-Jardins/Plus/2114/Jardin-Extraordinaire.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loiseau Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Wow, looks amazing! I think the "Arbre aux Hérons" was to be a creation of the Machines de l'Ile? I remember seeing sketches of it ages ago, when visiting the Elephant etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
