Les Jardinets dionysiens

Snugly held in the ditches of Fort de l’Est, between the housing estates and the motorway, the workers’ gardens are a splash of colour in the greyness of the suburbs. This is where Jean, Gilbert, Jean-Pierre and other gardeners spend their free time, joyfully cultivating a vegetal universe. Where Pascal and Marie-Albine reconnect with their lost childhood and memories of native soil. An authentic expression of popular culture, the gardens are a microcosm of freedom and sociability, where young and old, country folk and immigrants breathe the same regenerating air.
