Jardin des Prébendes d'Oé, Public garden in Tours, France
The garden extends across 4.5 hectares, featuring curved pathways, music kiosks, ornamental ponds, and numerous tree collections arranged in natural groupings.
The land transformed from marshy grasslands to an urban park in 1872 under architects Denis and Eugene Bühler, providing employment during the post-war economic crisis.
Two statues honor local literary figures Pierre de Ronsard and Honorat de Bueil de Racan, while the music kiosks host municipal and military band concerts.
The garden opens daily from 7:45 AM, closing at 5:30 PM in winter months and 9:00 PM during summer, with free entry for all visitors.
The garden contains 150-year-old giant sequoias and features geometric plant arrangements, establishing itself as one of six gardens in Touraine with remarkable garden status.

The Loire Valley features Gothic cathedrals, Renaissance châteaux and medieval squares. From Saint-Gatien Cathedral to Château de Chenonceau, each location displays architectural details: towers, stone walls, decorated facades and geometric gardens. The city of Tours combines half-timbered houses, bridges over the Loire, religious buildings and public squares with century-old trees. Saint-Gatien Cathedral rises with its two towers and stained glass windows from the 13th century in the heart of Tours. Château de Chenonceau spans the Cher River with its galleries and French gardens. Place Plumereau in the historic center is surrounded by medieval houses with wooden beams. The Loire châteaux such as Amboise, Villandry and Azay-le-Rideau offer photographs of white stone facades, towers and terraced gardens. The banks of the Loire reveal sandy beaches, old stone bridges and vineyards stretching along the river.
