This experiential garden pays homage to the Boileau family’s historic house, demolished in 2018. Inspired by the writings of René Boileau, this project promotes the history of Chambly through rustic French gardens, an orchard, a gallery, a sundial, and interpretative modules. Corten steel structures recall the skeleton of the Boileau house and create a gathering place conducive to educational and festive activities.
