The Pescatore Foundation was built on the former Berlaimont and Charles forts. In 1875, the site hosted a major agricultural and horticultural exhibition. The southern part, reserved for the public promenade, was divided into two lots: the quincunx - i.e. the planting of five trees in a straight line at equal distance - on the left of avenue J. P. Pescatore and the jardin creux on the right. A strip of land bordering bd. Royal remained in state hands until the boulevard and Côte d'Eich were completed. French landscape architect Édouard André was commissioned to design the parks. Find out more about the history of this emblematic site, which was intended to house the monument in honour of Grand Duke Jean.
