Jardin Carré-de-Baudouin

The Jardin Carré-de-Baudouin is marked by the presence of a historic eighteenth-century pavilion, identifiable by its grand, neoclassical facade featuring four tall Ionic columns supporting a triangular pediment. This building was once a private country retreat known as a folie, a term for the pleasure houses that wealthy Parisians built on the outskirts of the city to host parties and escape the noise of the capital.
