This garden pays homage to the French sculptor, draftsman, and painter Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux (1827-1875), who frequented the Montmartre district regularly. He created numerous works, attempting to recreate natural expressions, as illustrated by the group "The Dance" for the Opéra Garnier or the fountain in the Observatory Gardens, "The Four Parts of the World."(Submitted on May 2, 2025.)
