La Haye-Fouassière was once an intense hub of activity where sand would be transported via wooden barges pulled by men or horses over a towpath. The skiffs would also be used to transport wine, lime, and a type of cake called fouace<\/em>, which gave the town its name.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

With the generous participation of 100 D\u00e9tours (a company specializing in upcycling exterior wooden furniture), this S\u00e8vre River-side site was transformed in 2016 through the installation of fixed, submersible outdoor furniture (shareable benches and tables named Embarquement I<\/em> and II<\/em>). And, since the summer of 2020, it has been home to a new playground: Embarquement\u00a0III<\/em>! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This little park is like an origami of abstract, playable surfaces intended to stimulate a child\u2019s imagination: \u201cWe wanted to design a playground that was not figurative: something other than an animal, a ship, raft or vessel; something other than a monster, a tree or a fortress. Here, adults and children are entrusted with reappropriating it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Children ( from 3 years old) are free to use this play area under the supervision and responsibility of adults.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\t<\/div><\/section>\n\t
