El Condor

El Condor is an art installation in the countryside north of Paris that combines several built structures within a forested landscape. The site features stone constructions and architectural elements arranged throughout the natural surroundings and pathways.

The site was built during the second half of the 1900s by a single French artist who dedicated his life to the project. It represents a personal vision expressed through hands-on construction over many years.

The site was created by a French artist fascinated by nature and architecture, blending personal vision with the surrounding landscape. Visitors today see how one person's creative ideas shaped a space where art and environment coexist.

Visitors should wear sturdy shoes since the pathways cross uneven terrain and exploration is done on foot. The location is set back from main roads, so a car or local transport is useful for getting there.

The artist spent decades collecting stones and materials from the surrounding area to build his structures. Visitors can see throughout the site how found objects were incorporated into the creations.
