Parc Jean-Moulin - Les Guilands, Urban park between Bagnolet and Montreuil, France
Parc Jean-Moulin - Les Guilands is a large urban park between Bagnolet and Montreuil with open lawns, wooded sections, and several ponds that provide habitat for local wildlife. The space includes athletic tracks, basketball and tennis facilities, two children's play areas, and educational gardens where the public can participate in regular activities.
The site functioned as a gypsum quarry beginning in 1865, employing around 250 workers until operations ended in 1921 due to repeated workplace accidents. The conversion of this former mining area into parkland marked a transition from industrial extraction to a modern recreational space for surrounding communities.
The entrance features three illuminated bronze pyramidal sculptures titled 'À la santé de la Révolution' that mark the French Revolution bicentennial. These artworks shape how visitors first experience the space and invite reflection on this historical moment.
The park works well for walking and sports activities, with clear pathways and different zones for various uses. Visitors should know that the terrain is relatively flat and easily accessible to people of all ages.
A 600-meter pedestrian bridge covered with grass, called the Grande Traverse, connects the park's two original sections. This unusual structure creates a distinctive experience when moving between the two parts of the space.
