Parc Bassompierre, Public garden on the Charente River in Saintes, France
The three-hectare park stretches along the Charente riverbank with French and English garden sections featuring flowerbeds and tree-lined pathways.
Landscape architect Bonnet designed this green space in 1925, which received natural site classification status in 1943 for its environmental significance.
The 1928 bandstand, built by contractor Roginski following architect Georges Baustert's plans, represents the park's dedication to musical performances.
A pedestrian footbridge constructed in 1927 provides direct access from the city center to the right bank where the park welcomes visitors.
The former orangery converted into a tearoom serves refreshments while a mini animal park houses goats, ducks, and birds for entertainment.
