Parc de Blossac, French garden in Poitiers, France.
The park extends over 9 hectares on a terrace offering views of the Clain Valley, featuring French-style gardens with geometric patterns and English-style landscapes.
Count de Blossac initiated the creation of this park in 1750 as part of an extensive urban development project to enhance the city of Poitiers.
The park incorporates various artistic elements, including a bandstand, water features, and sculptures by Antoine Etex honoring local figures such as painter Léon Perrault.
The park provides multiple access points with accommodation for reduced mobility visitors, including entrances from Place de l'Appel du 18 juin 1940 and rue Léopold Thézard.
A small zoological area within the park houses domestic animals like chickens and rabbits, while Ouessant sheep maintain inaccessible areas near the rock garden.
