Attend the conference «Loisirs et espaces verts à Évreux 1870/1914» by Gilles Leblond. From the 1870s, the combined effects of technical progress, the improvement of living standards and the extension of public education encouraged the development of new cultural and social activities. Essential elements of a new conception of urbanism, integrating hygiene and aesthetics, public gardens and green spaces are the subject of particular attention. Arranged, embellished, they become privileged places for the development of leisure. Impressionism, a pictorial current that renews the way painters look at landscape, is contemporary with these evolutions. In Évreux, two «green spaces» are emblematic of these: the Botanical Garden and the Pré du Bel-Ebat.
