The place is characterised by a large number of physical and visual limits in the lengthwise of the “Quartier des équipages”: La Bourbince (river), bank, picket fence of private area, again vegetable extend and the canal. This type of landscaping contradicts the direction of water’s flow and the belies connection between the district and the city.
So we suggest in the new landscaping to ensure and cross cutting approach of the place in terms of water flow and landscaping.
