> Taking as support, pretext and symbol, the year 2000 and the 9 European cities of culture:

81 planted stones, 9 of which, in the center of the garden, have the names of these cities engraved on them. Each stone is inscribed with a phrase by a poet from each city, in his or her mother tongue and translated into French.
The 9 Damoiselles garden encourages dialogue between generations and between people from different social and cultural backgrounds gathered around this well of meaning.
> Nine geese game
The 9 Damoiselles garden is a kind of great millstone of the universe, looking both backwards and forwards. It symbolizes universal analogy, which governs the multiple states of being in reverse.
Game of the 81-stone goose; game of the nine geese, nine soul geese, wing geese in the meadow of the runes... an initiatory and divinatory labyrinth in which traditional cultures are restored to their original place, nature, reconnecting with its civilizing function of knowledge, alliance and sharing, illuminated by an imaginary dimension of utopia and enchantment.
> The garden implements a golden rule of new architecture based on the principles of Tantrism, Taoism, Pythagoreanism and the Cabala, serving to realize the laws of universal harmony and contributing to the accomplishment of the Great Work.
Garden reflecting the animate and intelligent universe in 81 divisions of nature into active and passive causes, and the principle of light and darkness.
Phoenix or new almanac of the 9 Muses with 24 wings, which designate the time that circulates in the zodiac of fatality, where destinies are engraved.
