Its unusual look makes it all the more appealing.
I quite agree.
It is a wonderful design. I wonder if it’s still in use?
I don’t think it’s used any more. It’s a very ingenious system, but I took the photo last year and neither Jean Michel nor I can remember how it works. I’ll check when we go to the garden festival during the summer.
