An air of spring on the meadow in front of the Chateau de Vincennes

Icon - Aménagement Parc Urbain

Two years ago, the City of Paris began planting the esplanade Saint-Louis, opposite the Château de Vincennes. The town called on ECT to manufacture a fertile substrate on site, to support the new planting. ECT’s fertile substrate is made up of inert soil from construction sites and green waste compost. It combines the recycling of locally-sourced data with the refusal to import distant topsoil, in a circular economy approach to construction soil.

The green transformation of the former parking lot now offers a new green space in the city. The former parking lot has been transformed into a meadow, a favourable environment for biodiversity and a space ready to welcome the public for outdoor events.
