A TRUE GATEWAY TO WILD YET TAMED NATURE AND MAJESTIC MOUNTAIN PASSES

When it was created in 1878, the Parc de La Sapinière occupied a vast plot of nearly 5 ha that included the current avenue Porfirio Diaz (formerly La Galopine) and its subdivision of villas. The farmhouse of La Sapinière was located on the current site of the residence La Sousta. Having become the property of Antoine Signoret (1895), the Parc de La Sapinière was reduced and divided into lots. The former allée La Galopine became, in September 1907, the avenue Porfirio Diaz, and accommodated no less than four villas including the spectacular Villa Bleue (1929). Reduced to 14,500 m2, its new surface area nevertheless remains one of the largest among the gardens of the villas built on their return from Mexico. Like the parks belonging to the first generation of villas (1870-1890), that of La Sapinière was first and foremost a rustic, nourishing garden, for which the best fruit trees were selected and vegetable plants were gathered in a considerable area: English Reinette apple trees, white court-pendu, chestnut, Bon-Chrétien pear trees, Carmelite lemon, soldier ploughman, Ohio beauty cherry... Access to the farmhouse (also called rustic house) was carefully organized by a head of cultivation who came specially from Grenoble (Pépinières Paul de Mortillet (La Tronche-Isère). "As a border for the path leading to the rustic house, we recommend as rustic plants, if it is partly shaded: ivy and periwinkle especially. For part exposed to the sun: variegated couch grass, ribbon phalaris, blue fescue, vine plumbago, etc. Not forgetting the rose bushes “which also make strong and pretty borders”.
