Parc Kellermann

Parc Kellermann is a public park located in the 13th arrondissement of Paris which was created between 1939 and 1950 on the former bed of the Bièvre river.

The entrance to the upper park, on boulevard Kellermann, has an art moderne colonnade, made of cement and bricks and decorated with bas-reliefs of dancers and athletes by Élie Ottary.

The entrance leads to a wide alley, bordered by rows of tilia, or linden trees, with a large lawn between, and an art moderne pavilion.

A short stream runs from the upper level through pools and a cascade of artificial rocks to the lower park, where it enters large kidney-shaped basin with a fountain.

The eastern side of the lower park is the most forested and natural, while the western part is devoted to playgrounds and sports.
