Parvis Marengo
The Parvis Marengo is designed as a fusion between the square and the garden. The objective is to create a mineral plateau overlooked by a canopy of trees, cleared as much as possible of any obstacle to allow a free flow of travelers by connecting the Halle des mobilités, the bus station and the two metro lines, and to design a lush garden in the north-eastern part of the square, which will contribute to the improvement of the urban environment and the quality of life of the neighborhood’s residents. Like an oasis of greenery in a dense urban context where people in transit and neighborhood residents mix.
