Jardin Nelson-Mandela, Urban park in 1st arrondissement, Paris, France.
The rectangular garden extends over four hectares with lawns, trees, and shrubs along paths that connect different sections of the space.
The garden opened in 1988 on the former site of Les Halles market, which was demolished in 1973 to make way for modern development.
The space carries the name of South African leader Nelson Mandela and includes an underground tropical greenhouse and the René-Cassin square amphitheater.
Located above the Forum des Halles shopping center, the garden connects to major transportation lines through Châtelet-Les Halles station.
The garden sits atop a deck covering a major shopping complex, creating an elevated green space in central Paris.
