Inspired by classic French gardens, the space became one of the most well-known in the city and is considered one of the most important landscape ensembles in the country. For the author of the proposal, the inclusion of the square in the municipality's intangible heritage reinforces the public power's responsibility for the preservation of the site's historical and landscape ensemble. Located between Glória and Flamengo, Praça Paris is one of the main postcards of the region and brings together green areas, reflecting pools, sculptures, and paths inspired by European landscaping. Over the decades, the space has consolidated itself as a meeting point for residents, tourists, and visitors to the Rio South Zone. 🟩g1 Rio is on GloboPop, the new vertical short video app from Globo, available for free on your phone.
