Impasse du Tripot "Au fil de l'eau
Inaugurated in December 2013, this new space is an invitation to stroll, a haven of tranquility, right in the heart of Honfleur?s historic center.
A blend of history, culture and strolls along the water, with a Zen touch that inspires serenity.
Situated on a branch of the River Claire, the garden features a number of promontories and vantage points overlooking the river, all of which are showcased to maximum effect.
This 7,000m² urban park was designed and laid out by various municipal departments: gardeners, masons, carpenters, electricians? The technical services teams were careful to reuse materials found on site to carry out the restorations, so that the low walls retain a vestige appearance.
In fact, during the renovation work, remains of the old tanneries were uncovered. This activity was set up in this location to take advantage of the two streams.
In the garden, you can now admire the dyers' tubs and a whole network of canals.
Works by Annick Leroy
Artist Annick Leroy was commissioned to create a series of works in connection with the site. In a town that has inspired so many artists, Honfleur?s mayor Michel Lamarre wanted to put art at the heart of this space, to give it an extra soul.
Annick Leroy therefore created a mosaic fresco recalling the work of the guild of tanners and dyers.
She also designed two fountain sculptures:
-4 geese spitting water
-a child with an umbrella
and a giant mosaic-covered snail.
