The Passerelle Simone de Beauvoir
The foam of the bridge was amazing! It determined by an unusual, undulating truss which has been described as "pectinate lenticular". This truss allows the bridge to provide two distinct intertwining decks whose endpoints arrive at different vertical locations along the riverside, serving separate pedestrian access points. And It is a bridge solely for pedestrians and cyclists across the Seine River in Paris.

Paris trip + Vertical garden
Paris trip
When we walk along the Quai Branly, the thoroughfare that runs along the left bank of the Seine between the Pont d'Alma and the Eiffel Tower, and you'll see a site that will make you rub your eyes in disbelief. A building four stores tall, parts of it still under construction, whose walls are entirely cloaked in living vegetation from roof to sidewalk. You're looking at the new Musée du Quai Branly, and what you're seeing is the latest hallucinatory creation of Patrick Blanc, world-trotting botanist, heavy-weight scientist, inventor, and designer of these stupendous vertical landscapes.

Parc andre citroen -Paris trip
Firstly When I got there I was surprised a huge helium ballon at the centre of park. It is definetly a major attraction and also rides are available every day. There are many different gardens, green house and fountains. Specially the garden is presents wild grasses selected to respond at different rates to wind velocity. A 630 meter diagonal path cuts through the park, which constantly changes in its nature.
Ensp Versailles - Paris trip
When we arrived at paris the first visit place was French Garden School. There are huge garden and historical building around this site. The classrooms and offices are adjacent to Le Potager du Roi, which ensures ongoing educational opportunities with fruits and vegetables. While Le Potager du Roi maintains its historical architecture, from the days of Louis XIV, it is also a modern experimental garden, testing new varieties and growing methods. Located near Paris in one of the historic gardens of Versailles, the school’s graduates and teachers are some of the most famous and talented landscape architects and garden historians in France.
