Jardin des Géants, Remarkable garden in La Madeleine, France.
The Jardin des Géants extends across 20,000 square meters, featuring woven wicker giant heads covered with vegetation and three distinct landscape sections.
The garden, inaugurated in spring 2009, transformed former parking lots into green spaces following an international design competition won by Mutabilis agency in 2005.
The garden's giant structures reference the regional tradition of giant effigies, representing historical figures and mythical protectors of northern French cities.
Visitors can access the garden daily from 8 AM to 8 PM through multiple entrances near Lille Europe and Lille Flandres train stations.
The garden incorporates 45,000 plants from 300 different species, distributed among three zones: Cloud Square, Giants' Grass, and Garden of Springs.
