The SNCF housing estate, the first company housing, influenced the history of the town. The gardens located in the heart of this 1930s architecture, this “garden of gardens” is inspired by the gardens of former railwaymen or allotment gardens nearby. The colour serves as a unifier for the users of the space in order to better feel the unity. Each garden is associated with one colour which gives it its identity: yellow, red, peach/cream, orange, mauve, pink, violet, blue and white. Each entrance to the garden is marked by a pergola with climbing plants which announce the colour.
