Hidden in the 17th arrondissement lies Allée Jacques Audiberti. A small green space named after a remarkable Parisian. A poet of verbal inventions. A creator of word music.
Jacques Audiberti lived a long time in this very arrondissement. His poems expressed his deep affection for Paris. He often evoked the city in his last novel. The Allée Jacques Audiberti reflects his legacy. It’s a beloved playground for children. They rush to play on the spring games. The slide is a favourite. They build sandcastles in the sandbox.
Two ping-pong tables are scattered throughout the garden. You can relax under the shade of a chestnut tree. Cherry trees in bloom provide beauty. Italian poplars and amelanchiers add elegance. The amelanchier’s (pronounced amelankier) name has roots in Savoy or Provence. Its springtime blossoms are enchanting. Its elegant shape and beautiful autumn foliage are captivating. Yellow and orange colours fill the autumn days.
The Allée Jacques Audiberti is more than just a playground. It’s a quiet tribute to a significant writer. A testament to his enduring connection with Paris. This small green space is a hidden gem. A tranquil escape in the busy city. A place to remember a Parisian poet. His life and work are woven into the fabric of this space.
The Allée Jacques Audiberti is a reminder. A reminder of the creative energy of Paris. A reminder of the artists who shaped its soul. It invites quiet reflection. It’s an opportunity to connect with the spirit of the city. Come sit beneath the trees. Listen to the laughter of children. Remember Jacques Audiberti. His words live on. The Allée Jacques Audiberti is a fitting tribute. A quiet testament to a great poet’s enduring legacy.
