Parc André Citroën, deuxième partie

Yesterday began our visit to Parc André Citroën, let's pick up where we left off...

How do you feel about the shaped Magnolias? My big concern is do they bloom? What's the point if you're giving up the blooms?

Looking back across a corner of the great lawn. I didn't know it when I took this photo, but what lies beyond those imposing rectangular "red" hedges is fabulous. We'll get there in a bit.
First we're going to explore those greenhouses!
Or not. THOSE DOORS WOULD NOT OPEN!!!
There were fabulous plants inside and I was locked out.
I tried EVERY SINGLE DOOR.

It was not a holiday and the park was listed as "open"....why people!? WHY??!!

I am disappointed, but I move on.

This blackbird had a lovely song.
And now we're behind those big rectangular hedges.

These are the "two sets of small gardens: the six "Serial Gardens", each with a distinct landscape and architectural design" mentioned yesterday in the intro.

We walked above them, enjoying the view but not needing to be in them.
On the other side of the walkway we were on were more pavilions, which I'm sure would have normally been open. Of course they were not, during our visit.

The architecture across the street seemed to be designed to match.

Another garden.

This one we walked down to.

Looking out across the great lawn...

And walking into another garden.

Another non-functioning water feature.
Slate? It was slippery.

Lovely Loquat (Eriobotrya japonica), and with that our visit to Parc André Citroën is over. I still have lots of Paris to share though!
