Located in Carrières-sous-Poissy, the Parc du Peuple de l' herbe is a vast area where nature reigns supreme
It boasts an incredible variety of plants and animals
attracting walkers and biodiversity enthusiasts alike
offering varied and enchanting landscapes at every turn
At the heart of the park, the Maison des Insectes is a must-see
This educational and entertaining center offers an immersion into the fascinating world of insects
It features interactive exhibits and educational workshops for all ages
the Maison des Insectes lets you learn more about pollinators
natural predators and biodiversity in general
Visitors can also take advantage of guided walks to get a closer look at different insect species and understand their crucial role in the ecosystem
There are collections of colorful butterflies
Information panels scattered throughout the park offer detailed explanations of the local flora and fauna
enabling visitors to learn more about the species they come across
These panels are often accompanied by QR codes for additional content
perfect for deepening your knowledge during your visit
The meadows are awash with all kinds of wild flowers
TheEtang de la Galiotte is another major point of interest in the Parc du Peuple de l'herbe
This peaceful pond is surrounded by lush vegetation and is home to aquatic birds
What makes the pond particularly unique are the floating chalets
It's like being in Canada in the heart of the Ile-de-France region
Another highlight of the park is the high observation point
This observation tower offers a spectacular panoramic view of the entire park and surrounding landscape
this lookout allows you to observe the wealth of flora and fauna from a different angle
offering a unique perspective on the park's different ecosystems
In addition to these assets, the park also boasts play areas, a fitness trail to keep you fit and ideal picnic areas
We recommend settling down between the arm of the Seine and the Étang des Galiotte
where stretches of grass offer the ideal temperate spot for a relaxing day out with your partner

It must initially offer housing solution for migrant workers related to the automotive industry, but now with a target of generating a more mixed audience. We have relied on this ambitious and rewarding program to propose a general figure consisting of two simple volumes , fitted around an empty space at the corner of two streets : a rift between public and private space. These prisms are related on the ground floor by the glass double height lobby.

transparency and brightness through the lobby making the garden visible from the public space
the punctual oversized corridors and the planted garden specially designed to protect the ground floor studios intend to turn out this somewhat rigid program (165 strictly repetitive studios) in an effort to qualitative transformation and upgrading housing

Text description provided by the architects. The series of buildings and pavilions are part of a new 113 hectare large public green space along the Seine river, in Carrière-Sous-Poissy, at the end station of the RER métro line A and close to Le Corbusier’s renowned Villa Savoye. The Park designed by Paris based landscape architects Agence TER will be an ecological showcase for local residents and a leisure destination for people living in and around Paris.
The site of the project is exceptional. Along one edge is the Seine river. The presence of barges, fishing huts and houseboats, which have inhabited the site until now, has been a powerful source of inspiration. Along the other edge is nondescript, suburban detached housing. The design springs from a process of hybridization between these two existing habitat models: the floating barge and the archetypical suburban house.
the collection of pavilions and small "follies" is based on a modular wood system
repeating and combining different sized and angled timber frames
This approach allowed for interesting and unusual constructions
enabling a wide range of possible variations with a very limited number of elements
At the same time the relatively low priced construction method enabled the integration of local building know how and local companies

AWP+HHF | Poissy Galore – Insects Museum and Visitor Center
the pavilions – as well as those little constructions the architects themselves call “small follies” – are based on a modular timber frame system that combines elements from a predefined catalog of portal frames
the architects were able to create interesting and surprising structures
obtaining a diverse array of different forms by combining a reduced number of element types
this approach has made it possible to build the structures using local workforce and materials
substantially reducing construction costs and environmental impact
The Poissy Galore Insects Museum accommodates visitor services
storage areas for the museum’s collection
which comprises various species of arthropods
and a facility specifically designed for raising living insects
The museum has been nominated in December 2016 for the Mies Van Der Rohe Award for European Architecture 2017

On a bend in the Seine near Carrières-Sous-Poissy
a skeletal tower of winding stairs and shed-like observation decks rears up out of the riparian landscape
offering views over the river and the new eco-park in which the structure sits
The 113-hectare park – the Parc du Peuple de l’Herbe
which officially opens in June – is the work of landscape architect Agence TER
but the observation deck is one of more than a dozen buildings and ‘follies’ designed for the site in a 2011 competition-winning scheme by Paris-based architect AWP and Swiss practice Herlach Hartmann Frommenwiler (HHF)
Their proposal envisaged a visitors’ centre
as well as a single-storey insect museum and exhibition centre that is now complete
the other buildings were conceived as a family of timber structures
which the architects liken to the wooden building blocks enjoyed by preschool children
whose combination of repeated and unique sizes and shapes “enables a wide range of possible variations with a very limited number of elements”
The choice and expression of the material was informed by local conditions
reflecting the proximity of both houseboats and nondescript housing
“The design springs from a process of hybridisation between these two existing habitat models – the floating barge and the archetypal suburban house”
The museum is composed of five intersecting boxes clad in strips of timber that are painted white in some parts
and appears to float above the ground in a reference to water-borne craft
the structure of engineered timber portal frames is prominently expressed; due to the angles at which the modules intersect
the structure of one extends into the volume of its neighbour
The museum’s collection includes both preserved specimens and live insects
which inhabit a greenhouse within the building
Visitors who prefer to see their wildlife in its natural habitat can follow new trails through the park
where Agence TER has completed extensive planting without fully sanitising the former wasteland
The follies proposed by AWP and HHF have yet to be realised
but a riverside restaurant on stilts is now scheduled to join the Poissy posse
