In 1895, the two gardens were joined to form a large 10-hectares park located between the street on the upper part and the Marne river on the lower part. It was labeled picturesque site in 1909.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The park is mainly comprised of ash trees, sycamores, pine trees, beech trees and lime trees. It is also home to some rare species like a honey locust, a weeping ash, a Japanese sophora and a Judas tree, as well as some outstanding species such as an Austrian black pine and a black Italian poplar. Aside from its majestic trees, the park also has a meadow, and two workshops from the 19<sup>th<\/sup> century: a dovecote and an old half-timbered cowman house built in a picturesque rustic style currently used as an engraving studio. Since 1999, the Fondation des Artistes has made part of the park available to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.laconfreriedupetitvinblancdenogent.com\/\">Confr\u00e9rie du Petit Vin Blanc de Nogent<\/a> (website in French only), which replanted 450 Chardonnais wine plants. It rekindled the production of the traditional \u201clittle white wine of the Val-de-Marne\u201d, which made the fame of local cafes at the beginning of the 20<sup>th<\/sup> century.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/f-d-a.fr\/lieu\/le-parc-de-la-fondation\/\">To visit the gardens<\/a> (page in French only)\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Although the garden of the 16 rue Charles VII had already been renovated in the middle of the 19th century, in 1861, the Smith family turned<span class=\"excerpt-hellip\">\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":199,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"portfolio-types":[23,27,25],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/fondationdesartistes.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio\/198"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/fondationdesartistes.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/fondationdesartistes.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/portfolio"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fondationdesartistes.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fondationdesartistes.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=198"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fondationdesartistes.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/199"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/fondationdesartistes.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=198"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"portfolio-types","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fondationdesartistes.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio-types?post=198"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
