An aqueduct used to carry water from Paris, transformed into a monumental work of art by sculptor Jacques Servières.

Originally, there was an aqueduct to carry water from Paris. On its route, the stone bridge that spanned the Marne at Chessy was destroyed during the Second World War. The bombardment propelled huge blocks of limestone into the Marne and onto the riverbanks. In 1987, sculptor Jacques Servières set about transforming them into works of art, creating an open-air sculpture garden on the banks of the Marne. A monumental work and a whole world of divinities borrowed from mythologies the world over. Bewitching!

Nous sommes venus le samedi soir 31/5/25. Je voulais montrer ce parc avec les statues à mon époux. Mais alors quelle déception dès l'entrée avec des corbeilles qui débordent d'ordures disseminees par terre. Des statues protégées par des barrières mais rendues invisibles tant l'herbe est haute entre la statues et la barrière. Quand on arrive à les voir, elles sont sales.
Où est passé le parc de mon enfance qui était entretenu et propre et où l'on avait plaisir à rester ?
Même la Marne, en face, était désolante avec sa vue sur deux péniches et une carcasse de bateau en train de couler...
On avait qu'une hâte, celle de quitter l'endroit.
