Parc Clichy-Batignolles - Martin Luther King

The Parc Clichy-Batignolles - Martin-Luther-King is a large park in north-west Paris, designed by Jacqueline Osty. It is located at the center of the Clichy-Batignolles mixed-use development that includes many modern buildings for housing and offices, as well as the new Tribunal de Paris. When I visited, construction was not finished yet and there were still many cranes surrounding the park.
