Les jardins ouvriers des Matelots

The place is at the boarder of the city, against the railway embankment. From the north of the city you find dense urban network, then geometric garden, then a more random place. It offers the possibility for many kinds of practises, away from the urban pressure, in a place of nature and freedom, structured by a network of paths that link the site to many parts of the territory.
