Breche Gardens, Public park in central Niort, France.
The Breche Gardens span across 4 hectares of green spaces, featuring thematic areas dedicated to scents, seasonal flowers, and natural habitats.
The gardens originated in the 18th century as a central marketplace for agricultural fairs before transforming into a parking lot in 1974.
Two bronze sculptures titled Ladies of the Breach depict multicultural women on a bench, representing communication between different communities.
The gardens contain a 500-square-meter children's play area with slides and underground trampolines, plus a designated space for dogs near Mail des Martyrs.
The irrigation system employs collected rainwater to maintain the gardens, demonstrating environmental sustainability in urban green space management.
