Parc de Beauregard, Urban park in northwest Rennes, France
Parc de Beauregard is a public green space in northwest Rennes that spans several hectares across varied terrain. The grounds feature walking paths, garden sections, and recreational areas arranged on different levels throughout the site.
The park came into being during the late 1990s as the Beauregard district underwent urban development and renewal. This creation represented a shift in how the city approached green space planning.
The sculpture 'L'alignement du XXIe siècle' by Aurélie Nemours stands in the park as a bridge to the neighboring FRAC Bretagne contemporary art center. The work invites visitors to encounter modern art within the outdoor environment.
The park is readily accessible by public transportation and offers parking facilities for visitors arriving by car. Comfortable footwear is recommended as the terrain involves different levels and elevation changes throughout the grounds.
The park's layout follows the path of sunlight across the grounds, incorporating traditional hedgerows to work with natural light patterns. A south-facing orchard within the space shows this thoughtful planning approach in action.
