Geocache Description:

The OISEAU-GIROUETTE Sculpture


City Art Offset Nano Cache

Oiseau-Girouette
This sculpture seems to be a bit of a mystery.
One cannot find much about it on the web, just the name of the artist and the date it was placed.
Even about the artist one cannot find much.
This cache might serve as an incentive to find out more about this nice piece of art and its history.
The sculpture is placed in the Cité Floréal.
It is most beatuiful to go there in spring when all the trees have flowers.

How to get there by public transport:
Take the Metro Line 1A to the Beaulieu station - but look out for a Man in Dark!
At the exit of the Metro station you cannot find anymore the Solar system: The Sun cache.
But there is nearby another cache dedicated to Dark Birds.
Cross the street towards the E411 and go to the blue Croissant building.
Go down the street a few meters until you discover stairs (after the glass containers) to your right.
Take the stairs and follow the street downhill until it ends.
Cross the Street and enter the park (slightly to your right).
There you are in the vicinity of the Passion cache and the Pecherie-1 cache.
Stay on the path through this lovely little park and continue uphill.
Exit the park and cross the street.
Turn left and take the next street to your right (uphill again).
This street leads you directly to the sculpture.

You can park your car at the above given coordinates.
Going there by bike might be very nice too.

Please bring your own pen to write in the tiny log.

Please be careful when replacing the Nano as everybody can see you.
