THE ORDER – A PATH OF PEACE IN LES HAUTS-DE-FRANCE | A CREATIVE AND SCENIC JOURNEY ON THE SITES OF MEMORY OF THE FIRST WORLD WAR
Gilles Brusset: Impacted by the brutality of the 20’s century wars, the region Hauts de France chose to celebrate tomorrow’s heritage and affirm its resilience in landscape art by creating an itinerary on the sites of a memory of the Great War: the gardens of peace in les Hauts-de-France.
Light in the underwood
The garden guides the visitors to the light of the glade. The plants of this garden play with the light and slowly let it through making the walk an enriched spatial experience.
The freedom of wandering
Winding paths invites the visitor to discover the environment that witnessed an important part of our history. This added walking space enhances the possibility of escaping the direct route to the glade and to freely wander through the forest becoming a vast monument of peace.
