It is at the same time a tribute paid to foolish garderners who were working close to art brut, a concept that was thought as a dream by the artist Luc Brévart, with the active help of the Green Services of Arras municipality.

This installation is linked to the fact that chalk was extracted under the city since the Romans, in tunnels that were named Boves.

An underground circuit was opened in 1982 which, in a way, is a testimony of the history of the city.

In this fabulous and strange atmosphere orchids, ferns, leaves and roots, as well as astonishing flowers are waiting for you for three months each year.
