Josaphat Park, which was opened to the public in 1904, is a typical English garden, a very fashionable design at the time. This style is the opposite of the French garden, with its straight lines, pruned trees and geometric basins. The English style recreates pure, wild nature: fake rocks and waterfalls, overgrown ponds... A sort of mock Garden of Eden. In this era of rampant industrialisation, it was a way of reconnecting with the calmness nature. The garden is also home to mythological or symbolic sculptures, so immerse yourself into the beauty of this elegant gem from times gone by.
