The lake at Evry is easily accessible by walking paths from the residential areas. The blue area is public art that runs through the walking area, sometimes as a sculpture and sometimes as a painted walkway. |
This is part of the sculpture portion of
the blue area public art project.
The tall crane at left is a reminder that Evry was very much under construction in the mid-1970s. |
As construction of new housing proceeded in this part of Evry, so did the blue area public art project expand into new territory. |
This photograph indicates the immense scale at which French new towns were being built in the 1970s. When completed, Evry was designed to accommodate 500,000 persons. |
