Dhuys Sculpture Garden

Nice discovery along the Marne. About forty sculptures created by the artist Jacques Servières from 1987 with the stones of the old aqueduct of the Dhuys, bombed during the Second World War.

The Dhuys or Dhuis sculpture garden takes its name from the river that was formerly brought to this site by an aqueduct to the Ménilmontant reservoir in Paris. The forty statues are made from the stones of the destroyed aqueduct bridge. They are divided into a clearing and a path: the sculptor Jacques Servières took his inspiration from the Cambodian site of Angkor to start his work... This space is freely accessible. The statues are monumental, some are almost 4 meters high. They represent human characters, essentially female, or animals, mythical or real. Each sculpture bears the initials of the sculptor and the date of creation.
