Up & down, the stairs, FRANCE Blois city is situated on a hill, on one of the bank of the Loire river. Relief is very present in the city. Next to the city hall which is an old building, te hillside has been used to create two terraces. A rose garden has been planted on one of the two terraces. The stairs were meant to link the upper terrace and the street below. Dug into the wall, it is a strolling space as well as a belvedere overlooking the Loire Valley.

Paris , FRANCE
This urban park in Paris is designed with structure of lines and perspectives which define spaces. All these spaces create diferent atmospheres for all kind of uses. Visitors can play or rest, in the shade or the sun light on the great lawns. The Northen part of the park shows various species of plants . Each season brings particularities. Adults and children can all discover and appreciate not so common plants in cities. The large square between the restaurant and the cultural building presents a mineral and very sunny open space with a big stretch of water. It can welcome the restaurant terraces and cultural events.

Saint-Claude-de-Diray , FRANCE
The village located in the Loir-et-Cher plans to create a substantial urban expansion. As an anticipation, a new place has been thought as a future transitional space between the old village and the new one. It concentrates new services and uses. There is furthermore, an intention to create an urban square between the school and the village hall, where inhabitants can meet, rest or come and play “pétanque”. This project was a team work. It was decided to compose the space according to two axes North/South, one for cars, the other one for pedestrians. Between both of them, a large afforestation is used to hide imposing infrastructures like a gymnasium and a car park. The afforestation will create green space between the old and the new part of the village.

Saint Michel , FRANCE
Saint Michel is located on a knoll formed by two small rivers running on each side of it. Both of them meet the river la Charente on the west side of the city. Although the topography is mainly structured by the rivers, water is not really present through the city. Besides an important separation between the city center and the northen part is created by the railway (with a train station no longer in activity) and a cliff. In order to enhance the redability of the river and to reconnect both sides of the village an wide and open urban plaza is created instead of the existing carpark. To that aim building organization is reconsidered to open up the visibility on the river and densify housing. A bridge crossing the railway is created as well. It reconnects the urban plaza to the Nortern part of the city through the cliff against which are rested new buildings.

Illuminating an urban square The forecourt of ENSNP ( school of landscape architecte ) and the engineering school facing it, is one of the highest places in the city. It is located between the train station and the hillside. A luminous installation brings the visitors near the terraces of the hillside which overlook the Loire Valley. Some remarkable elements are illuminated in the distance. Team work

Elsewhere 2013
A trip to Belle Ile Island landscapes are very particular, about biodiversity but also about the way human being move in it. The horizon is shorter. Being aware of the limites of physical moves, geographically speaking, changes the idea we have of space. Reading landscapes throught botany, pedology, etc, as well as drawing is a way to understand how scientific data influence how we perceive space.

Landscaping is not just about working on and creating spaces with artistic and scientific skills. It has to be understood in its globality, its history, the social context, the inhabitantsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; customs. We cannot boast about designing space without understanding how the people who live there feel space and live in it in their daily life. The daily life reveals the uses a place must contain. It is about dealing with all the flows. Carsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; flow, pedestrianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s flow. It is about sounds and light, shiftings and views, about aesthetics and practice.
