Jardin des Gogottes, Public garden in Villaroy district, Guyancourt, France.
The Jardin des Gogottes is a public garden in Guyancourt covering about one hectare with various art installations throughout. The space includes play areas for children and outdoor zones designed for family recreation.
The garden was created in 1996 through a collaboration between urban planner Jean-Noël Capart and landscape architect Jacques Simon. Since its opening, the artistic installations have been defining features of the site.
Four concrete Gogotte sculptures are displayed throughout the garden, their forms inspired by characters from a classic children's book. These artworks give the space a playful character that appeals to visitors of all ages.
