Jardins Pierre-de-Ronsard, Renaissance garden at Hôtel de Ville, Le Mans, France
The garden features seasonal flower arrangements on both sides of the Ponts-Neufs stairway, complemented by a small central fountain near Saint-Pierre-la-Cour collegiate church.
These gardens carry the name of Pierre de Ronsard, a prominent Renaissance poet, and incorporate medieval design elements that reflect the architectural heritage of Le Mans.
The gardens serve as an outdoor venue for local art exhibitions and educational programs about horticulture, connecting nature with community activities.
Visitors can access the gardens from early morning until sunset, with designated paths suitable for walking and resting areas throughout the space.
From the top of the Ponts-Neufs stairs, the gardens provide direct views of Saint-Julien Cathedral while connecting the old town with the Saint-Nicolas district.
