Parc de Choisy

The Parc de Choisy (1937), like the Square Saint-Lambert in the 15th arrondissement (1933), was built on the site of a former gas factory.

The Eastman Institute, at one end of the park, played the rôle of the château with which the central alley and rows of trees were aligned.

The edges of the park were given more natural groves of trees, winding paths and a small stream, in the more traditional Second Empire style.

Unlike the traditional formal French garden, the densest groves of trees are close to the "château", rather than at the most distant end.

Near the entrance of the park on avenue Choisy, there is a round table made of porphyry which came from the Pavilion of Finland at the 1937 Paris Exhibition.
