Parc de Bréquigny, Public park in southwest Rennes, France.
Parc de Bréquigny is a green space covering about 20 hectares with wide sandy paths, grassy mounds, and mature trees spread throughout the site. The landscape extends toward the Blosne river, where wetland areas create a varied natural setting.
The park was created between 1969 and 1980 on the grounds of the former Château de Bréquigny, an estate that once belonged to a local noble family. The transformation from private castle grounds to public park marked a significant shift in how the land was used.
The park preserves century-old oak, maple, and chestnut trees that represent the natural heritage of the region and shape how visitors experience the green space daily.
The park is open to visitors throughout most of the day via multiple entrances including Rue d'Angleterre, Avenue du Canada, and Allée d'Ukraine. Wear suitable footwear as sandy paths and wetland areas can be muddy, especially after rain.
The park features an art installation titled 'Il était une fois dans un pays lointain' by Egyptian artist Ghada Amer, which incorporates climbing roses throughout the space. This work merges visual art with natural plant growth across the park's landscape.
