SQUARE RECAMIER
This terraced garden is particularly intimate, hidden at the bottom of the Rue Récamier, which is a residential dead end street sheltered from the surrounding tumult. It was built in 1933 at the place where the convent of the Abbaye-aux-Bois used to be, and where Madame Récamier withdrew to end her days. What makes this garden unique is the majestic fig tree at the entrance, but also the weeping beech and the sophora which dominates the shrubs with sweet-smelling flowers. Periwinkles, rhododendrons and heather, which flower in autumn, cover the mounds. You will only hear the birdsong and the noise of the water of a small waterfall.
