A path to peace in Hauts-de-France, Belgium and Grand Est
> a creative & landscaped route
on the memorial sites of the Great War
A unique landscape project on the emblematic sites of remembrance of the First World War, the Art & Jardins association | Hauts-de-France, the Mission of the Centenary of the First World War and the Ministry of the Armed Forces have developed a creative and innovative journey in the colours of the nations that were at war and who now embrace the cause of peace in the contemporary world. It is an invitation to landscape architects and architects from the warring countries, to trace avenues of reflection on a world that is marked by economic, political and ecological upheavals.
Since 2018, the centenary year marking the end of the First World War, 20 Gardens of Peace have been created in Hauts-de-France, Belgium and now in the Grand Est. They offer a different, sensitive and complementary approach to places of memory: from the moat of the Château in Péronne to those of the Vauban fortifications in Le Quesnoy, from the Glade of the armistice in the forest of Compiègne to the village of Vieux-Craonne on the Chemin des Dames, via the Targette in Neuville-Saint-Vaast, Arras, Thiepval, Vimy, Notre-Dame-de-Lorette, Richebourg, Noyelles-sur-Mer, Braine, Vouziers and also to Passchendaele in Belgium. Created with the support of local authorities, these Gardens of Peace create spaces for rest and reflection, offering an alternative perspective on our future and on peace which is always in question.
Art & Jardins | Hauts-de-France sought to extend its Gardens of Peace project beyond the Hauts-de- France region. A three-year agreement was signed with the Ministry of the Armed Forces at the end of 2020 to extend its deployment to the region of the Grand Est; initial contacts have been made with various agencies and the different communities.
In 2022-2023, 13 Gardens of Peace will be created near or within national necropolises, on sites identified in consultation with the Department of Heritage, Memory and the Ministerial archives.
By 2024, a Path of Peace – made up of nearly 40 gardens dedicated to the First World War and situated along the front line – will emerge from the borders of Belgium to Alsace via the departments of the Nord, Pas-de -Calais, Somme, Aisne, Oise, Ardennes, Marne, Meuse, Moselle, Meurthe- et- Moselle, Vosges, Bas-Rhin and Haut-Rhin. In 2022, 10 new Gardens of Peace will be launched in the Grand Est and the Hauts-de-France regions.
