Office de Tourisme de Clichy la Garenne

In brief:

Creation: 1897
Surface Area: 27,000 m²

The Park, known as the "parc Denain” for over 40 years, was formed when the property of Madame Veuve Léo Delibes, daughter of Elisabeth Désirée Mesnage-Denain, stage name Mademoiselle Denain member of the Comédie Française was divided into lots.

On 7th October 1895, Mr Paul Hellet, then Mayor of Clichy and Madame Veuve Léo Delibe, signed an agreement by which she gave the lease to the town and promised to sell several lots.
The layout is romantic in style. The alleys were marked out, the water feature was redesigned, artificial rocks were added for decoration and goldfish for company.
There is a special children’s play area. A house was built by Bertrand Sincholles for the park’s caretaker.

In 1987, the Denain park was opened to the public.
The propriety of Mr Saule and the land belonging to Mr, Dumur, Mr Grousseaud and Madame Veuve Eugène Shoell were appended to extend the park. It now forms a large 2400m² triangle between the boulevard de Lorraine (boulevard du Général Leclerc) and rue Genéral Roguet and rue Villeneuve.

On 10 July 1910, Louis Gaudier, Mayor of Clichy, officially opened the last version of the park.
The park houses works given by the Departmental Council to the town of Clichy.
The sculptures that we can still admire today are named “Sleepy earth”, by Miss Debienne, “Water Lily” by M.Gaussé and “The lesson” by Frédéric Tourts.
