Jaujac, France
View Original Description
Jaujac is a commune in the southern France. It was the site of the love story of Guillem de Balaun, the historicity of which is dubious. The village lies in the northeastern part of the commune, on the right bank of the river Lignon, which flows northeast through the commune. Tourists from all over the world flock to the miniature city for the special historical art sites and nature trails throughout the luscious hills.
In celebration of the town’s 10th anniversary of art and nature trail programs, Marseille based artist, Gaelle Villedary has mapped a winding green carpet throughout the entire village with her public piece "Tapis Rouge". For the massive project, Villedary used 168 rollers of turf grass, equalling 3.5 tons of material and spanning almost 1,500 feet! Climbing up and down steps and winding down long corridors, the green path brings nature inside the city walls, harmonizing the town with its surroundings.
