The project
The Saline royale, formerly a salt factory registered on the UNESCO World Heritage List, is reinventing itself with a new landscape design, the shape of which is inspired by the Ideal City of Chaux imagined by its architect, Claude-Nicolas Ledoux, in the 18th century.
LThe Vast Circle consists of 30 gardens covering 13 hectares inspired by the work of landscape artist Gilles Clément. Here, the gardeners observe and accompany nature, rather than trying to domesticate it, in order to promote diversity.
