Parc de Blossac

Parc de Blossac, French garden in Poitiers, France.

Parc de Blossac is a garden park in Poitiers featuring French-style sections with geometric patterns and English-style landscape areas spread across an elevated terrace. The grounds include water features, a bandstand, and sculptures distributed throughout multiple zones.

Paul Esprit Marie de La Bourdonnaye, Count of Blossac and intendant of King Louis XV from 1753 to 1770, laid out the park on the site of the ancient Blossac-Saint-Hilaire necropolis. It was completed in 1770, one of the few realized parts of his plans for Poitiers, alongside some boulevards and the Pont-Neuf (1778). In 1777 the future Louis XVIII, then Count of Provence, walked in the gardens.

The park features a bandstand and water features that shape how people spend their time in the open air. Sculptures placed throughout honor local figures and create gathering spots for visitors from the city.

The park is accessible from several entry points, including access from Place de l'Appel du 18 juin 1940 and rue Léopold Thézard. Facilities for visitors with reduced mobility are available at the different entrances.

The park's name comes from Paul Esprit Marie de La Bourdonnaye, Count of Blossac, intendant of Louis XV from 1753 to 1770, who laid it out on the site of the ancient Blossac-Saint-Hilaire necropolis. The wrought-iron entrance gate still carries his coat of arms, and a monument to Blossac by Raymond Sudre stands in the grounds.
