The City of Paris acquires the Rouvray dock, a “haven of biodiversity” in the heart of the 19th arrondissement. The municipality on Monday became the owner of this small pool located south of Parc de la Villette.

Many liminal animals — fish, ducks, swans, etc. — coexist in this small green space just a few meters from the first homes. This purchase from the State will make it possible to ‘create a reservoir of biodiversity'
