Parc de Bréquigny, Public park in southwest Rennes, France.
Parc de Bréquigny covers 20 hectares southwest of central Rennes, laid out between 1969 and 1980 north of the rocade and south of the Bréquigny neighbourhood. The Blosne crosses the grounds and widens into a marsh. A narrow path of rectangular grey, tan and pinkish stone blocks, with grass and low plants in the joints, runs beside reeds and dark water.
The park was laid out between 1969 and 1980 on 20 hectares north of the Rennes ring road, south of the Bréquigny district and near Les Chalais and the Alma shopping centre. The Blosne crosses the grounds and forms a marsh there. In June 2024 an observation hut for children was inaugurated, and the following month about thirty undocumented migrants set up a camp in the park.
The park's name comes from the Bréquigny district, and the Blosne, which crosses the park and forms a marsh, shapes how the space is used. In June 2024 an observation hut for children was inaugurated, and the following month about thirty undocumented migrants set up a camp there.
The park lies north of the Rennes ring road, south of the Bréquigny neighbourhood and near the Chalais district and Alma shopping centre. The Blosne crosses the site and forms a marsh, so the ground beside the water stays wet; the stone-block path in the photograph is the drier way across.
The park holds 'Il était une fois dans un pays lointain', a 2007 work by Egyptian-born artist Ghada Amer. In June 2024 an observation hut for children was inaugurated here; the following month around thirty undocumented migrants set up a camp in the park.
