Just push a door to discover linden alleys, yew trees and boxwoods, bushes of roses or hydrangeas, vast lawns, a vegetable garden, a grotto... Each of these secret Parisian gardens is a surprise, a change of scenery. Whether they were created by famous personalities - Pierre Bergé, Hubert de Givenchy, Yves Saint Laurent, Kenzo -, by renowned landscape gardeners - Arabella Lenox-Boyd, Camille Muller, Louis Benech, Pascal Cribier - or by simple amateurs, they all seduce by the treasures of imagination of which they are the fruit and testify to the loving respect that their creators feel for nature. They can be guessed, at the bend of a street, by the song of a bird, the perfume of a jasmine or a foliage adorning a wall, and offer to the city dwellers that we are, moments of immense happiness, as if the walls of Paris became transparent, revealing suddenly the hidden face of the capital. Moments of happiness that the authors of this book knew how to capture to slip them between the pages.
