Gallery: Jardin des Tuileries and Parc de la Villette
Created by:

Parc de la Villette - Folly
Parc de la Villette's famous follies are "playful" in the most heavyhanded sense...
Jardin des Tuileries - Sculpture
...whereas this abstract sculpture in the Jardin des Tuileries actually encourages play.
Parc de La Villette - Cite des Sciences et de l'Industrie
High profile attractions like the Cite des Sciences et de l'Industrie burden Parc de la Villette with over-wrought architecture...
Jardin des Tuileries - Cafe
...as opposed to the simple amenities, like this cafe, whose presence give cohesion to the Jardin des Tuileries.
Parc de la Villette - Seating and Sculpture
Seating in La Villette is fixed and awkward...
Jardin des Tuileries - Seating
...compared to movable seating in the Jardin des Tuileries, which is conducive to sociability.
