This garden is the work of Japanese landscape artist Kinya Maruyama. It is a rather special place with towers built from recycled materials. At the top of the towers, the view of the estuary is breathtaking. There are also picnic tables, perfect for a nature break!

I love this place. It's worth putting down the bike and going for a walk in this work.

An original place to take a break. Shaded picnic tables.

"THE STAR GARDEN" - the art of Kinya Maruyama: Paimboeuf is at the heart of the Loire estuary, where rivers and oceans begin to merge and where the presence of man is confronted with monumental scales. Working from the constellation of the Big Dipper and the four cardinal points, the architect-landscape artist Kinya Maruyama builds The Starry Garden using vernacular materials. It is a space to live: we walk there, we play, we ask, we breathe, we contemplate. Created for Estuaire 2007, The Garden is evolutionary. In 2012, Kinya Maruyama places the garden in its natural element: the modifications made are mainly vegetal. estuaire.info/fr/oeuvre/le-jardin-etoile-kinya-maruyama
